30 Recently the General Social Survey has asked subjects to rate various groups using the "feeling thermometer." Ratings between 50 and 100 mean you feel favorable and warm Toward the group, whereas ratings between 0 and 50 mean that you don't feel favorable. It also asks subjects to rate themselves on political ideology, using scores 1 = extremely liberal, 2 = liberal. 3=slightly liberal. 4 inoderate, 5=slightly conservative, 6 = conser- valve, 7 extremely conservative, and to describe their religious attendance, using the categories (never, less than once a year, once or twice a year, several times a year. about once a mond. 2-3 times a month. nearly every week. every week, several times a week). Table 9.17 shows data for ten of the subjects in a recent survey, where the feelings thei- mometer refers to feelings about liberals and using religion scores that are the category numbers.

a) Analyze Table 917 Tell why you conducted each analysis, and explain how to inter- pret the results

d) Suppose the feelings response for the first subject had incorrectly been recorded as 90 instead of 10 How would this have affected results of your analyses?
