Role #1 Poverty Analyst
Analyze poverty in the United States. Do you believe that there is a problem with poverty in the United States? Is it getting worse year by year or better? What does the data suggest?
a) Go to the statistical abstracts entitled Data on page 2, or you may locate your own data by going to: https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2011/compendia/statab/131ed.html and find data tables that support your argument.
b) Make at least two graphics from these data. One should be a scatterplot with a trend line, R square, and equation. The other graph/graphs is/are of your choosing.
c) Note: be careful about saying a trend is increasing. It could be because the population is increasing. Make sure that you divide your values by the population in that year to standardize the values; that way you can report them as a proportion.
d) Include your graph, equation, calculations and results.
