Discussion:STAT200 Introduction to Statistics Dataset for Written Assignments Description of Dataset: The data is a random sample from the US Department of Labors 2016 Consumer Expenditure Surveys (CE) and provides information about the composition of households and their annual expenditures (https://www.bls.gov/cex). It contains information from 30 households, where a survey responder provided the requested information; it is all self-reported information. This dataset contains four socioeconomic variables (whose names start with SE) and four expenditure variables (whose names start with USD) Description of Variables/Data Dictionary: The following table is a data dictionary that describes the variables and their locations in this dataset (Note: Dataset is on second page of this document) Variable Name Location in Dataset Variable Description Unique number used to identify each survey responder Marital Status of Head of Household Total Annual Household Income Coding Each responder has a unique number from 1-30 UniqueID# First Column Not Married/Married Amount in US Dollars SE-MaritalStatus SE-Income SE-AgeHeadHousehold SE-FamilySize Second Column Third Column Fourth Column Fifth Column e of the Head of Household Total Number of People in Family (Both Adults Number of People in Family and Children Total Amount of Annual Expenditures on Food Total Amount of Annual Expenditure on Meat Total Amount of Annual Expenditure on Bake Total Amount of Annual Expenditure on Fruit e in Years USD-Food USD-Meat USD-Bake USD-Fruits Sixth Column Seventh Column Eighth Column Ninth Column Amount in US Dollars Amount in US Dollars Amount in US Dollars Amount in US Dollars How to read the data set: Each row contains information from one household. For instance, the first row of the dataset starting on the next page shows us that: the head of household is not married and is 39 years old, has an annual household income of $96,727, a family size of 2, annual food expenditures of $7,051, and spends $904 on meat, $345 on bakery items, and $759 on fruit.
