STAT200 Introduction to Statistics Dataset for Written Assignments Description of Dataset: The data is a random sample from the US Department of Labor's 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 Coding UniquelD# First Column Each responder has a unique Unique number used to identify each survey responder number from 1-30 SE-MaritalStatus Second Column Marital Status of Head of Household Not Married/Married SE-Income Third Column Total Annual Household Income Amount in US Dollars SE-AgeHeadHousehold SE-FamilySize Fourth Column Age of the Head of Household Total Number of People in Family (Both Adults and Children) Total Amount of Annual Expenditures on Food Total Amount of Annual Expenditure on Meat Total Amount of Annual Expenditure on Bakery Total Amount of Annual Expenditure on Fruit Age in Years Number of People in Family Fifth Column USD-Food Sixth Column Amount in US Dollars USD-Meat Seventh Column Amount in US Dollars USD-Bakery Eighth Column Ninth Column Amount in US Dollars USD-Fruits 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.
