1. Americans often think of themselves as quite diverse in their political opinions, within the
continuum of liberal to conservative. Let's use GSS 2018 data to investigate the diversity of
political views. 'The percentage distribution shown displays respondents' self-rating of their
political position. (The statistics box is not displayed; cases with no response were removed for
this example.) a. How many categories ( K ) are we working with? b. Calculate the sum of the
squared percentages, or P c t 2 . c. What is the IQV for this variable? Do you find it to be higher
(closer to 1) or lower (closer to 0) than you might have expected for political views? Or, to put it
another way, did you expect that Americans would be diverse in their political views or more
narrowly concentrated in certain categories?
