Prompt: in the tutorial, we calculated the average trust in others for France and visualized it. Using instead the variable ‘Trust in Parliament’ (trstplt) and the country of Spain (country file provided on course website), visualize the average trust by survey year. You can truncate the y-axis if you wish. Provide appropriate titles and labels given the changes. What are your main takeaways based on the visual (e.g., signs of increase, decrease, or stall)?
Answer: The average trust in parliament in Spain was highest in 2004 at 3.6 after which there was a gradual decline. Although there is a decline till approximately approximately 2012, we can see a gradual increase in the average trust in parliament from 2013 to 2018 (Average from 2.0 to 2.5). Based on this visual, we can conclude that trust in parliament began to decline in the 2000s and has stalled since 2012.
Task 2
Provide answer only.
Prompt and question: Based on the figure we produced above called task2_plot, tell us: what are your main takeaways regarding France relative to Italy and Norway? Make sure to be concrete and highlight at least two important comparative trends visualized in the graph.
Answer: From 1920 to 1950, France is the only country out of the three which displayed an increasing trend towards citizens saying “yes” to feeling closenes to a party by cohort, while the proportion of those saying “yes” for Italy and Norway were both decreasing. However, by 1950, the proportion of citizens saying yes in France began to drop at a rapid rate (from 0.60 to 0.23). Additionally, the decrease is more gradual for Italy and Norway and has a small increase in “yes” responses from 1945-1950. The key takeaway from this graph is that the proportion of French individuals who responded “yes” has severely decreased since 1950 whereas Italy and Norway experienced a gradual decrease in citizens saying “yes.”

Question: What is the marginal percentage of Italian men who feel close to a particular political party?
Answer: Of all Italian respondents, 13.2% are males who feel close to a particular political party.
Task 4

Prompt: In the tutorial, we calculated then visualized the percentage distribution for left vs. right by gender for France. Your task is to replicate the second version of the visualization but for the country of Sweden instead.
