Analysis

During the 2000 presidential election, Ralph Nader ran as a third-party candidate. Many observers believed that Nader would play a "spoiler" role in the election, and in the postelection analyses, many blamed Nader for Al Gore's loss to George W. Bush. Based on this spoiler idea, a researcher believes that opinion about Ralph Nader will be low. This researcher hypothesizes that Nader's approval rating will be around 25 on a scale of 0 to 100 .

- You will be using v000363 to measure feelings toward Ralph Nader.

- Generate descriptive statistics for this variable, determine the most appropriate measure of central tendency, and illustrate the variable as appropriate graph.

- Once you have done this, perform a one-sample t-test to test the researcher's null hypothesis that feelings toward Nader will be low ( \(\mathrm{H}_{0}=25\) ).

- Does your analysis of the variable allow you to accept or reject the null hypothesis? Why? In your response, use complete sentences and explain in detail what the numbers mean.
