Finding Mean and Standard Deviation For Presidential Elections between 1948 and 2004
Question
This question requires you to analyze the dataset “presvote.csv”. It contains data on presidential election vote shares for the party of the incumbent president from 1948 to 2004. The variables are defined in the spreadsheet.
(a) What is the average and standard deviation of the incumbent's share of the two-party popular vote, incumbent party's share of the electoral vote, percentage change in GNP in the early part of the election year, and the incumbent president's July popularity?
(b) Construct a histogram of the incumbent's share of the two-party popular vote. Does it suggest any general incumbent party advantage in presidential elections?
(c) What is the correlation between the incumbent party's popular vote share and electoral college vote share? How can you explain the difference in their standard deviations?
(d) Use a regression model to determine the effect of election year change in Gross National Product (GNP) on the incumbent party's two-party popular vote share. Report the regression line and R2 and interpret the coefficients.
(e) How would you expect the election year change in GNP and the incumbent president's popularity in July are correlated? What is their correlation?
(f) Estimate a multiple regression model of incumbent party popular vote share with both election year GNP change and incumbent president popularity as covariates. Report the regression line and R2 and interpret the coefficients. Why does the effect of GNP change on the dependent variable differ from the that in the bivariate model above?
Note: Please find the Excel sheets attached along with this document.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
As an undergraduate statistics student at one of the leading institutes in Singapore I was finding it increasingly difficult keeping up with the assignments with the rest of the class. I was lost, and not in a good way, in probability, displaying data etc. That is when I found TheReliableTutor. Here the stats homework solver helped me out with all my assignments and I have been getting great reviews and grades since then.

I started taking serious help from TheReliableTutor.com from my fourth semester. They helped me get good grades and made me understand the basics of Data Structure and Automata. I really needed help with those and now that I am getting help my level of confidence is increasing.

The one on one personalized electrical engineering online tutoring sessions at TheReliableTutor has really helped me better understand the underlying concepts of Circuit analysis, circuit diagrams, Parallel DC circuits, and many more. Thanks to the patience and personalized attention of the online electrical engineering tutor I have been able to effectively improve my grades.
Patricia Evans Student
My professor had mandated that the class had to use legal case studies as supporting examples for the constitutional law assignment essay. Frankly I did not know where I would get the required material. My problem was solved by the experts at TheReliableTutor who themselves are practicing constitutional lawyers and could easily incorporate the requisite examples and help me write my constitutional law assignment.
Laurence Carter Student
When it was time to submit the Time Series Assignment for my Stats course at grad school I was freaking out. I had no clear concept of the topic and hence could not do the proper research. The online time series assignment help expert at HwA was absolutely awesome and helped me write my Time Series Assignment essay in a way that I got a clear idea about the topic also.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
