- You need to use Stata to look up the dataset and its variables. Use Stata Companion Textbook. (Dataset: NES. Variables: spend8, [pw=nesw].) The NES dataset contains spend8, which records the number of government policy areas where respondents think spending should be increased. Scores range from 0 (the respondent does not want to increase spending on any of the policies) to 8 (the respondent wants to increase spending on all eight policies). The NES, of course, polls a random sample of U.S. adults. In this exercise you will analyze spend8 using the mean and lincom commands. You then will draw inferences about the population mean. (Remember to specify nesw as the probability weight.) The spend8 variable has a sample mean of ______. Make sure you use [pw=nesw] so your results are nationally representative. There is a probability of .95 that spend8’s true population mean falls between a score of ______ at the low end and a score of ______ at the high end.

Thank you A University has put in place a 4 week course of lunchtime exercise breaks for its staff to see if its employees’ job satisfaction can be improved. To measure the effectiveness of this program, 10 randomly selected staff in the program were surveyed about their feelings at work, once at the start of the program and again after the course. Higher scores indicate higher satisfaction. The job satisfaction index results for this group were: Staff 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Before 34 28 29 45 26 27 24 15 15 27 After 33 31 36 46 32 34 28 26 19 37 Use a test of significance at 5% level to decide if the program has improved the employee’s job satisfaction on average.

A sample of individuals was asked to indicate the number of hours of sleep per night with categorical options: fewer than 6 hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more. Later in the survey, the individuals were asked to indicate their age with categorical options: age 39 or younger and age 40 or older. Sample data follow.
