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)?

Based on the visual, there was a very slight increase in Spain’s average trust in Parliament between 2002 and 2004. After that, it decreased gradually, reaching its lowest point in 2012. It increased until 2018, declining once again until 2020.
Task 2
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.
In contrast to Italy and Norway, the visual demonstrates that in France, there was an increase in respondents born between 1920 and 1940 who expressed feeling closer to a political party. On the other hand, for Italy and Norway, a decrease is evident. In addition, while Italy and Norway demonstrate stalling among respondents born from 1940 to 1960, France displays a more pronounced decline in “Yes” responses.
Task 3
Question: What is the marginal percentage of Italian men who feel close to a particular political party?

## 4 Male Right 1084 27.8Of all Italian respondents, 23.7% are males who lean politically left, and 27.8% are males who lean politically right.
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.

Provide code and answer: In Hungary, what is the conditional probability of NOT feeling close to any particular party given that the person lives in a rural area?
