2 Would a model built from two states with low median-income be likely to fit the rest of the data well? Why or Why not?
3 Why do you think states typically have higher median-income than per-capita income?
Definitions in the Code
The two lines of code under # Define some rows extract rows 0 and 1 from the table, and define them as alabama and alaska.
4 Type alabama into the Interactions Area. What do you get back?
5 Underneath the definition of those rows, add new definitions for california, michigan, and one other state. Click "Run", so that Pyret reads your new definitions and test them out in the Interactions Area to make sure you defined them correctly!
