Frank works as a statistician for the Republican party. He has been asked to study the earlier Rubbergate scandal for possible political ammunition. He has collected a random sample of 146 members of the 1992 House of Representatives. The data is listed below. Eight characteristics were collected about each representative. Whether the representative wrote bad checks is indicated by the variable named CHECKS. This variable is coded 1 for a bad-check writer and 0 otherwise. PARTY is the variable indicating political affiliation. Democrats are coded with 1, and Republicans are coded 0. There weren't any Independents in this random sample. SERVICE is the total number of years of service in the House. Service beginning in or after November in a given year is not counted as a year of service in this data set. The representative's age in years is recorded in the variable named AGE. VOTES measures the returns (in percentages) for the most recent election in which that member participated. DISTRICT measures the representative's home district population rounded to the nearest thousand. STATE is like DISTRICT except it is the population of the representative's home state. If the representative wrote bad checks, Frank also recorded how many he or she wrote. This information is in the variable called BADCHKS. Frank wants you to prepare a report that characterizes the data set. In particular, what should he say about the following issues?What is the general nature of the sample (i.e. descriptive statistics) in terms of average and typical fluctuation around the average for the variables named SERVICE, AGE, VOTES, DISTRICT, and STATE?How do these variables differ in a comparison of check-bouncers and non-check-bouncers (not considering the number of bad checks at this point)? Are there any statistically significant differences?How does party affiliation enter into the analysis? Is there a statistical difference between the parties in bouncing checks, or in the number of bounced checks? Make sure your report includes recommendations to the Republican party as to any information that might further their campaign and highlight fiscal irresponsibility by the Democrats.CKSPARTYSERVICEAGEVOTESDISTRICTSTATEBADCHKS1065899.65944040911246999.7574404040185292.8537404001044799.58293665320044861.3747366501166260.461323501100404365129760301124854.775829760011164560.5666297609911287562.769229760131116595856629760311145274.2653297601210176454.66472976030018686063829760011287470601297601101125672.760029760011106467.15992976010186060.75982976000086349.79802976000023867.66912976001085968.184129760411185063.7453329450004754.1529329401195471.45413287601034576.55193287181184365.5666666311428072.75691293841024659.27651293890086058.17691293801086610076612938800105197.85441293800023860.46341293801110517355764788191145075.654064781250186468.75636478001145755.87776478001136366.3594110801187293.8413114317160125959.253311431011185979.9445114311810115567.75661143110066165.86111143101183986.84671143191184666.249011431120164166493554401123860.757355442110246357.656255446111245866.4510554411144799.2462277740044271.8449277700066260.15492478011165386.952736851520045969.3563368501163650.8492368551411144352.5467421280103760.16371228010124351591122810144769.75414782011125865.36704782600326977.55386016001105065.55456016011144499.952560169211185353.459360161010145864.15369295171064875.457992952011175968.6489929520110125861.3521929587811104263.650292955470185969.74859295010103861.8480437512501125272.94984375011165672.9518437520124701005302573011225960.9492511732811145961.8615511790026152.16105117011125361.1417799660124957.9560157801086963.5609120221103354.35677730100103762.96157730010185974.6520773081125681.5465773061064758.1613773020010631004977730011164155.8567773015110104854.651317991411247072.3527179911331185692.954117991408101326053617991511146380.45341799131125362.85171799111124364.15201799115101046100545179918102871635311799130116515549917991011257764.85876629631145058.16996629801185165.6601662900046461.8572662900103951.150910847010104661.75111084760005462.152710847000247363.252710847001145956.752110847010186658.951110847141184364.85171084739700456565183146011104073.65533146811164863.16172842830144385.85392842010166157.15811188240122635753711882011124456.657811882501165310050711882701105471.84531188200086010053411882011226465.646911882300126159.45031188200046365.5616348701145161.4577348720144467.6696696011166153521487781164166.76074877611164558.146248773881084399.671416987180064166.570516987001386857.75641698701123871.3609169873112663100658169872841114999.64501698731044374.86701698710112481006351698701185310059416987180104158.3604172301146075654618710134599.4544618701104551.774761873106525265748675800105770.7562486700125372.3558486700183955.54881794011205299.4533489261174769.25374892111225299.55444892640025455.14544540

Frank works as a statistician for the Republican party. He has been asked to study the earlier Rubbergate scandal for possible political ammunition. He has collected a random sample of 146 members of the 1992 House of Representatives. The data is listed below. Eight characteristics were collected about each representative. Whether the representative wrote bad checks is indicated by the variable named CHECKS. This variable is coded 1 for a bad-check writer and 0 otherwise. PARTY is the variable indicating political affiliation. Democrats are coded with 1, and Republicans are coded 0. There weren't any Independents in this random sample. SERVICE is the total number of years of service in the House. Service beginning in or after November in a given year is not counted as a year of service in this data set. The representative's age in years is recorded in the variable named AGE. VOTES measures the returns (in percentages) for the most recent election in which that member participated. DISTRICT measures the representative's home district population rounded to the nearest thousand. STATE is like DISTRICT except it is the population of the representative's home state. If the representative wrote bad checks, Frank also recorded how many he or she wrote. This information is in the variable called BADCHKS.

Frank wants you to prepare a report that characterizes the data set. In particular, what should he say about the following issues?

What is the general nature of the sample (i.e. descriptive statistics) in terms of average and typical fluctuation around the average for the variables named SERVICE, AGE, VOTES, DISTRICT, and STATE?
How do these variables differ in a comparison of check-bouncers and non-check-bouncers (not considering the number of bad checks at this point)? Are there any statistically significant differences?
How does party affiliation enter into the analysis? Is there a statistical difference between the parties in bouncing checks, or in the number of bounced checks?

Make sure your report includes recommendations to the Republican party as to any information that might further their campaign and highlight fiscal irresponsibility by the Democrats.
