The data is
hypothetical, it represents two samples of household income in the
United States. The first
sample was taken in June of 1975 and the second sample was taken in June
of 1995. Both samples are
in terms of current dollars.
Your job is to examine
the data using descriptive statistics and write a one page report
detailing your findings.
This is a SAS data set
consisting of 1000 observations on two variables. The first, Y75, is the sample from 1975, the second, Y95, is
the sample from 1995. The
data can be downloaded from the course website, or obtained from the
instructor (bring your own floppy or zip disk).
Once you have the data
set on a floppy or zip disk it can be retrieved using the following SAS
statements:
LIBNAME
INC 'A:\' ;
DATA
INCOME;
SET INC.DIST;
You may have to do some
digging to get the data to reveal some of its more interesting facets.
