Download both the Pro-Parris Social Data Set and the Anti-Parris Data Set.
The Pro-Parris data set contains four columns:
- "Name" identifies each signer of the pro-Parris petition.
- "Identification" indicates the category in the petition under which the signer was placed.
- "Sex" indicates whether the signer was male or female.
- "Sort" locates each signer in the data set so that it can be returned to its original order.
A pivot table (or contingency table) can be constructed to show the relationships between different types of Parris's supporters. Select "PivotChart" in the Data menu. Using the "Microsoft Excel list or database," click the "Range" icon and drag through the two columns (include column labels) "Identification" and "Sex." In "Layout," choose the "Identification" icon for Column, the "Sex" icon for Row, and "Count of Identification" for the Data field. Place the pivot chart in a new worksheet, and click "Finish."
