You need to create some new variables on Excel.

You want to test the percentage increase in state budgets between 2004 and 2008. You hypothesize that having a Democrat Governor, unified party government (both legislative branches and the governor being from the same party), the line-item veto, Sunset laws, and the number of House and Senate committees are all related to change in state budget.

1) What new variables do I need to create on Excel?

2) Summarize variables and present professionally. What am I supposed to summarize on Excel and how?
