You will upload both your output and your pdf/Word document.
you will be using the GSS2018 dataset. Make sure you save your work continuously! You will be recoding variables – for each variable you recode, make sure you include a frequency table for the original variable and a frequency table for the recoded variable immediately after the original frequency table.
First, recode the variable Childs. Your recoded value label should conclude with “…recoded into __ attributes” (make sure you do this for all recoded variable value labels). After recoding, provide a rationale of why you recoded the way you did (i.e. explain how you combined categories and why you did it that way). No write-up needed for this variable!
Second, turn the variable God into a dichotomous variable (i.e., a variable that has two attributes). After recoding, provide a rationale of why you recoded the way you did (i.e. explain how you combined categories and why you did it that way). No write-up needed for this variable!
Third, recode the variable SPEDUC. After recoding, provide a rationale of why you recoded the way you did (i.e. explain how you combined categories and why you did it that way). No write-up needed for this variable!
Make two charts — an appropriate bar chart and an appropriate pie chart with any two of the variables above. No write-ups!
Remember to turn in both the document with your answers and the output!
