Question

Some states allow election-day registration, while others do not. Which statement best describes the table?

States with election-day registration had higher turnout.
States without election-day registration had higher turnout.
States with and without election-day registrations had roughly equal turnout.
States with election-day registration outnumber those without.

Answer 1

I can’t see the table you’re referring to. Please paste the table (or upload an image) or describe its columns and a few rows.

If you want to decide it yourself, here are quick ways to check which statement is best:

1. Determine what the table shows:
- If it lists turnout percentage for each state and whether that state allows election‑day registration (EDR), compare average turnout by group.
- If it only lists counts of states with/without EDR, compare those counts.

2. Quick manual/Excel checks:
- In Excel, if column A = “EDR?” (Yes/No) and column B = turnout %:
- Average turnout with EDR: =AVERAGEIF(A:A,"Yes",B:B)
- Average turnout without EDR: =AVERAGEIF(A:A,"No",B:B)
- Count of states with EDR: =COUNTIF(A:A,"Yes")
- Count without: =COUNTIF(A:A,"No")
- Compare the two averages:
- If avg(Yes) > avg(No) by a meaningful margin → “States with election‑day registration had higher turnout.”
- If avg(No) > avg(Yes) → “States without election‑day registration had higher turnout.”
- If averages are very close (you can pick a threshold, e.g. within 1–2 percentage points) → “roughly equal turnout.”
- If the table only gives counts (no turnout) and EDR states outnumber non‑EDR states → choose “States with election‑day registration outnumber those without.”

3. Optional: Python/R snippet (if you want to paste data I can run the calculation for you).

Send the table (or the data) and I’ll compute and pick the correct statement.
