Problem Set 1: The Two-Factor ANOVA for Independent Measures

Research Scenario: In response to recent Gallup and Pew Center polls of Americans' trust in their political leaders (http://www.gallup.com/poll/195716/americans-trust-political-leaders-public-new-lows.aspx; http://www.people-press.org/2014/11/13/public-trust-in-government/), a social psychologist decides to study people's trust in politicians among different political parties and regions in his state. The psychologist administers a scale-level questionnaire with possible scores ranging from 1-50, with higher scores indicating higher trust in politicians, and lower scores indicating lower trust. The data from this scale-level questionnaire are shown in the table below.

Conduct a two-way ANOVA to determine the effect of political party and region on trust in politicians. Create a multiple line graph to display the differences between the groups. Follow the directions below the table to complete the homework.
