ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

This homework will test your ability to prepare cross-tabulations, and bivariate graphics, and test for statistical association and significance. You will need to put this all together and interpret your results. For this assignment, you should have a cover page and begin each question on a new page. There are 4 relationships to analyze—each worth 25%.
