this dataset is right below the HWA1 questions - it is
a Microsoft excel worksheet) and store it in your
favorite folder.
It contains 797 observations and 16 variables. The
"state" variable gives the names of the states
involved in this dataset.
• You need to have excel on your computer to open
this dataset.
i. You should use File > Import > Excel Spreadsheet
etc. as done in class 3 convert this file into a
Stata dataset. Once you are done, write the final
STATA code that makes the transformation of an
excel file to a STATA file possible.
ii. Write a code that will close the log file that has
been open since Question 1 part ii.
