and descriptive statistics in the following exercise.
Exercise 1.2 Using the Household Data and Questionnaire (available in
the annex), find out the number of households in each
district that have 1-4, 5-7, and more than 7 persons per
household. One way to find out this information is to create
the following table.
Hints:
a. Use the file c-hh.dta.
b. Recode h1 into hhsize using the following groups:
(1 thru 4) (5 thru 7) (8 thru Highest).
c. Add a variable label and value labels.
d. Run a two-way table - Tabulate on this variable by
district
Looking at the results, you can see 34.76% of all 1 to 4
member households are found within Monapo and that
