- Exercise 6-6 (Algo) (LO6-3) The director of admissions at Kinzua University in Nova Scotia estimated the distribution of student admissions for the fall semester on the basis of past experience. Admissions Probability 1,100 0.5 1,400 0.4 1,300 0.1 Click here for the Excel Data File Required: What is the expected number of admissions for the fall semester? Compute the variance and the standard deviation of the number of admissions. Note: Round your standard deviation to 2 decimal places.arrow_forward1. Find the mean of the x-values (x-bar) and the mean of the y-values (y-bar) and write/label each here: 2. Label the second row in the table using proper notation; then, complete the table.

Generate the log of birthweight and family income of children. Name these new variables Ibwght & Ifaminc. Include the output of this code. ii. Apply the command sum with the detail option to the variable faminc. Note: you should find the 25th percentile value, the 50th percentile and the 75th percentile value of faminc from the output - you will need it to answer the next question Include the output of this code. iii. iv. Use the output from part ii of this question to Generate a variable called "high_faminc" that takes a value 1 if faminc is less than or equal to the 25th percentile, it takes the value 2 if faminc is greater than 25th percentile but less than or equal to the 50th percentile, it takes the value 3 if faminc is greater than 50th percentile but less than or equal to the 75th percentile, it takes the value 4 if faminc is greater than the 75th percentile.

- Write STATA codes which will generate the outcomes in the questions & submit the output for each question only when indicated below i. ii. iii. iv. V. Write a code which will allow STATA to go to your favorite folder to access your files. Load the birthweight1.dta dataset from your favorite folder and save it under a different filename to protect data integrity. Call the new dataset babywt.dta (make sure to use the replace option). Verify that it contains 2,998 observations and 8 variables. Include the output of this code. Are there missing observations for variable(s) for the variables called bwght, faminc, cigs? How would you know? (You may use more than one code to show your answer(s)) Include the output of your code (s). Write the definitions of these variables: bwght, faminc, male, white, motheduc,cigs; which of these variables are categorical?
