Apply STATA commands & submit the output for each question only when indicated below i. 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. Include the outcome of this code…

Apply STATA commands & submit the output for each question only when indicated below i. Apply the command egen to create a variable called "wyd" which is the rowtotal function on variables bwght & faminc. ii. Apply the list command for the first 10 observations to show that the code in part i worked. Include the outcome of this code iii. Apply the egen command to create a new variable called "bwghtsum" using the sum function on variable bwght by the variable high_faminc (Note: need to apply the bysort' statement) iv. Apply the "by high_faminc" statement to find the V. descriptive statistics of bwght and bwghtsum Include the output of this code. Why is there a difference between the standard deviations of bwght and bwghtsum from part iv of this question?
