Approximately how many non-Hispanic, white women respondents reported that they had a great deal of confidence in educational institutions?
Figure 4.2 examines the relationship between respondents’ racial-ethnic group and their confidence in education, controlling for respondents’ gender. RACEHISP is a nominal-level variable that indicates respondents’ self-identification as non-Hispanic white, Black or African American, non-Black Hispanic, or another racial/ethnic minority group. CONEDUC is the variable corresponding to the question, ”I am going to name some institutions in this country.
