$(15$ pts$.,$ Design: $4$ points $-$ Steps $1$ to $3$; Ana$1$ysis: $4$ points $-$ Step

$4$; Interpretation: $7$ points $-$ Step $5)$ A researcher be$1$ieves that the

party identification of the president has an effect on the president' $s$

decision to grant or not grant a disaster. He be$1$ieves that Democratic

presidents are more $1$ike$1$y to grant a major disaster than are

Repub$1$icans. The researcher uses the Disaster Dec$1$arations, Individua$1$

Requests, $1953$ to $2014$ data set to test his hypothesis. Using Action

Type $(3-$category$)$ as the dependent variab$1$e and presidentia$1$ party as

the independent variab$1$e$,$ test the researcher' s hypothesis using

contingency tab$1$e ana$1$ysis.
