From the Information Please Almanac, we compiled the following table on U.S. region of birth and political party of the first 44 U.S. presidents. The table uses these abbreviations: F = Federalist, DR = Democratic-Republican, D = Democratic, W= Whig, R = Republican, U = Union; NE = Northeast, MW = Midwest, SO = South, WE = West.

a. What is the population under consideration?
b. What are the two variables under consideration?
c. Group the bivariate data for the variables "birth region" and "party" into a contingency table.
