scatter-point analysis

Read a random definition: farmee

A quick definition of scatter-point analysis:

Scatter-point analysis is a way to see how changes in the number of people from different races affect voting patterns. It involves making a graph to show if the percentage of votes for a candidate goes up or down as the percentage of voters from a certain race changes. This helps us understand how race can impact elections.

A more thorough explanation:

Scatter-point analysis is a way to study how changes in the population of a minority group affect voting patterns. This method involves plotting the percentage of votes that candidates receive to see if there is a correlation between the percentage of voters of a particular race and the voting percentages.

Let's say there is a city with a population of 100,000 people. Of those 100,000 people, 20,000 are African American. In the last election, Candidate A received 60% of the vote and Candidate B received 40% of the vote. If we plot the percentage of African American voters against the percentage of votes received by Candidate A, we can see if there is a correlation.

If we find that as the percentage of African American voters increases, the percentage of votes received by Candidate A decreases, we can conclude that there may be some racial bias in the voting patterns. This information can be used to address any issues of discrimination and work towards creating a more equitable voting system.

id hang on to Howard until they said no or yes. their outcomes gap between Howard and Elon justifies it imo

Ohio might as well be the South

Im also fearful that by the time i hear back from them, housing that accepts student loans as proof of income will be all taken and im planning on going no contact w my family so thats beat
