You are an intern with Washington state's Office of Financial Management. One of their current projects is how food stamp program participation affects the state budget.

As part of the project, your boss asks you to look at how unemployment affects the use of the food stamp program (FSP). You have found yearly data on states' food stamp program participation and unemployment from 1988 to 2007. To help you, your boss has outlined the steps you need to go through.
