Lab Assignment 2

Compose your answers in a Word/Pages/Google document (or the equivalent kind of file) and email prior to the due date or print and bring to class on the due date. Test your code in R before submitting your lab, so that you know it is correct.
Be careful to write the code exactly, or copy the code from the R console into your word processor to ensure accuracy.

1. Formulate a sociological question and find two categorical variables in the ANES 2016 to test it. Identify the question and the variables:
