Table (1)
Scatter diagram showing public bond holding on the vertical axis and deficit on horizontal axis is as follows:
Fig.1
The steep fitted line in Fig. 1 shows the strong relation between the change in debt held by public and deficit from 1980-2017
Introduction:
When the planned expenditure of government exceeds the amount of revenue available to pay for it, it is known as budget deficit.
b.
To create: A scatter plot showing the deficit on horizontal axis and changes in and bond holding by Federal Reserve on vertical axis from 1980-2017.
b.

Explanation of Solution
Diagram showing Federal Reserve bond holdings on the vertical axis and deficit on horizontal axis since 1980 to 2017, is as follows:
Fig.2
The steeper fitted line shows the positive relationship between bond holdings by the Federal Reserve and deficit but with less prognostic power.
Introduction:
When the planned expenditure of government exceeds the amount of revenue available to pay for it, it is known as budget deficit
c.
To create: A scatter plot showing the deficit on horizontal axis and changes in and bond holding by Federal Reserve on vertical axis from 1980-2007.
