Tasks

Answer the questions and complete the steps below:

1. Count the number of voters and nonvoters in the age groups18-31, 32-44, 45-56, and 57+ and organize the counts using a contingency table.See Stapplet Sample below.
2. Provide a visual representation of the voting tendencies of each age group along with the marginal voting participation rate of each age group. Hint: Marginal rates are calculated by finding the conditional probability of voters within each age group, likeP(voter | age 18-34), for example.
3. Is there a link between age and likelihood of voting? Describe nuances like sample size of each subgroup, sampling biases, and any other factors while using charts, probabilities, and descriptive statistics to illustrate your analysis.
4. What could be learned from the above analysis with regard to voting habits of people? Consider the following scenarios as examples:
   1. An advocacy group would like to increase the voter turnout by targetingage groups that turnout in lower numbers.
   2. A candidate is uninterested in nonvoters and would like to target ages that turnout in larger numbers.
