Statistical Analytics Test Questions

The document provides instructions for a statistical analytics assignment using the STATA software with a dataset named 'nlsw88.dta'. It includes tasks such as describing variables, summarizing statistics, comparing variability, tabulating categorical data, summarizing wages by various categories, and conducting tests on mean wage differences. Additionally, it requires the computation of correlations and the creation of scatter graphs to analyze relationships between wage and other variables.
