• 1. (8 points) Focus on the “GDP Growth 2021 (Q1 to Q3)” variable. This shows the rate of economic growth in each state for the first three quarters of 2021 (the fourth quarter data has not yet been released). Create a table that shows the descriptive statistics for this variable in three columns: one for the overall sample, and then separately for the states with a Republican governor and for the states with a Democratic governor. In each column, you should present the full set of “summary statistics” from the Data Analysis tool in the Data tab of Excel. Create a set of boxplots (on one chart) that show the distribution of the GDP growth rate by Census region (south, west, etc.).
