Question: A. Using the information on the Final Data File sent to you with this examination, use the TANF information (see tab at bottom for question 32) as the dependent variable, and the poverty rate and personal income information at the independent variables, construct your null and research hypotheses and find out which of the independent variables appear to have the strongest impact on the amount of TANF dollars that an individual receives by doing a multiple regression. Remember to show your work.

B. Using this data, now predict the amount of TANF funds an individual would get if he/she if the poverty rate was 8.7 and the average personal income in the state was $23,756. (You may have to square the final answer and take the square root to eliminate the negative.)

C. How does this amount compare to the average for the nation – explain your answer.
