Homework #4
Hypothesis: Poverty is responsible for a decrease in voter turnout.
The stated hypothesis explores why in poverty stricken cities voter turnout is lower as opposed to other wealthy cities. An independent variable is one that influences another variable, called a dependent variable. The independent variable in this case is known as “poverty”. A dependent variable in a causal or social scientific analysis, the dependent variable is the variable the researcher seeks to explore. It is typically the result or effect in a causal relationship. The dependent variable is “decrease in voter turnout”.
Within the datasets and surveys displayed in the class code book I will explore the survey that indicates INTPRIM interest in primary election. The questions within this category lean toward understanding the general interest of primary elections. In addition, I will also explore INTELECT interest in general election through understanding the interest individuals have you can properly conclude on the concluding turn out. For example, 5605, 6004, 6005, 6006, 6007 “How much interest would you say you have in this year’s presidential election – a great deal, just a moderate interest, only a little interest, or no interest at all?”
