also. A larger percentage of respondents who were white had an overall higher

Outlook
 Hypothesis & Rationale Multivariate

The relationship between the independent and dependent variable will not
change, the race will still affect the political viewpoint of the respondent on a
multivariate level. According to the data whites have a larger interest in politics so
therefore whites will still have a larger view point on politics than blacks.
