Part 3) Read the textbook (Statistical Analysis, p. 144-p. 146), and analyze the data listed below.w9L1
By counting the cases listed in the data table, fill the table listed below. | Democratic Party | Republican Party | Total |
| Black | | | |
| White | | | |
| Total | | | |
-------------------------To copy a table intact, you need to copy embedded formatting codes. To do so, make sure to copy the surrounding areas of the table. (If you fail to copy these codes, the table collapses when pasted.) If you have copied unnecessary things, you can delete them once the table is pasted.When you copy, highlight the table, and then hit the “C” key while holding down the Control Key (Ctrl key, usually located in the lower left corner of the keyboard).When you paste, move the cursor to the place where you want to paste the table, and then hit the “V” key while holding down the Control Key. And finally, if asked, select “Keep formatting.”w9L2
Given the research question (Does one’s race affect his/her political party affiliation?), what is the independent variable? What is the dependent variable?w9L3
What are the attributes (or categories) associated with the independent variable? What are the attributes associated with the dependent variable?w9L4
At which level (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) is the dependent variable measured? Explain your answer.w9L5
Find out % for each cell of the table and fill in the table. . | Democratic Party | Republican Party | |
| Black | % | % | 100% |
| White | % | % | 100% |
. .------------------If you do not know how to get %s in the table, watch the following video:Two-Way Relative Frequency Tables (5:29)Hw9L6
Are these two variables, race and political party affiliation, related or not related to each other? Does one’s race affect or not affect his or her party affiliation? Explain your answer using the %s in the table.
