    The bubble graph shows the results of a study about the voting habits of sports fans in the United States. What do the size and color of a bubble represent in the graph?

    • Worked-Out Solution

      The size of a bubble represents the relative number of fans of a particular sport. The color of the bubble represents the political party that the fans of the sport are more likely to vote for. Bubbles that are dark represent high voter turnout from fans of a particular sport while bubbles that are light represent a low voter turnout from fans of a particular sport.

  • 27. Political Ads and Sporting Events

    The bubble graph shows the results of a study about the voting habits of sports fans in the United States. Television ad buyers tend to focus on sporting events because sports fans usually watch sporting events live rather than on a DVR machine. This means viewers are unable to skip the ads. Which sporting events should ad buyers target to reach Republican voters? Democratic voters?

    • Worked-Out Solution

      To reach Republican voters, ad buyers should target sporting events with a large number of fans, high voter turnout, and Republican skew, such as PGA Tour (men's golf), college football, and NASCAR.

      To reach Democratic voters, ad buyers should target sporting events with a large number of fans, high voter turnout, and Democrat skew, such as NBA.
