14
State Expenditures Percentage of population that is African- American Homeless per 1000 Number of citizens participating in the food stamps program Crimes per 100,000 citizens
15
State expenditures and food stamp participation In order to study the variables related to state spending against unemployment Determined that food stamp participation is the most significant variable while state expenditures is not
16
Normal residuals No heteroskedasticity
17
Crime rate and income per capita In order to study the effects of poverty and unemployment Highly significant regression did exist Crime rate is highly significant while income is not Introduction of dummy variable for DC DC’s data was much higher than the 50 states R-squared value increased because the absence of DC’s data decreased the sum of residuals
18
Introduction of dummy variable for DC DC’s data was much higher than the 50 states R-squared value increased because the absence of DC’s data decreased the sum of residuals
19
Normal residuals No heteroskedasticity
20
Crime rate, food stamps, and homeless per 1000 In order to test the three most highly significant variables against unemployment Determined that a significant relationship exists with participation in the food stamps program being the most significant variable
21
Normal Residuals No heteroskedasticity
22
Introduction of dummy variable for DC Increased R 2 by decreasing sum of residuals
23
Percent of population with no health insurance does not correlate with unemployment rate Percent of adults with bachelors does not correlate with unemployment rate
24
Unemployment positively correlated with: Participation in the food stamps program Homeless rate per 1000 people Crime rate per 100,000 people Should be the goal of the government to decrease unemployment by a reallocation of funds Would lead to decrease in crime, homeless rate, and poverty
