In this exercise, test the relationship between subjective class identification (CLASS) and feelings about government spending on the following social issues: crime rate (NATCRIME), educational system (NATEDUC), and nation’s health (NATHEAL). You will produce a total of three cross-tabulations.

1. Which variable should be defined as the independent variable? Explain your answer.

2. Explain the relationship for each of the tables you’ve produced: CLASS and NATCRIME, CLASS and NATEDUC, and CLASS and NATHEAL. For which table is the relationship between CLASS and the dependent variable in question the strongest?

3. Examine the relationship between CLASS and the NAT variables (NATCRIME, NATEDCU, and NATHEAL) with a control variable of your choice.
