Question 3
For this question you will be examining the data-set labelled "Homicides_2011" which you can find on the assignment folder.

d) Produce appropriate graph to examine the relationship between homicide rate and geographical region. Describe any geographical pattern you see.

Question 4
For this question you will be examining the data-set labelled "Blood_Pressure" which is provided on the assignment folder. The dataset contains data on blood pressure screening clinic for employees at a certain company.
a) Using pivot table in excel create contingency table that summarizes number of cases in the dataset by age group and blood pressure level. (you can also use minitab or other softwares to create this contingency table)
b) Find the marginal distribution of blood pressure level.
c) Find the conditional distribution of blood pressure level within each age group
d) Create a segmented bar graph for your result in part (b) to compare conditional distribution of blood pressure level within each age group. (You can create it simply in excel)
e) Write a brief description of the association between age and blood pressure among these employees
