For this assignment use the missing dataset that's posted on classweb instead of the usual ECLS-K dataset.
Explore the randomness of missing data on family income (WKINCOME). Employ both t-test and chi-square analyses to determine which child characteristics are associated with missing data on WKINCOME. For this assignment, focus on race (RACE5), gender (FEMALE) and mom’s age (P1HMAGE). What are the implications of these missing data for analyses involving children’s economic backgrounds?
But also, include 1 more continuous variable and 1 more dummy/categorical variable of your choosing.
Don't write a paper this week - just write two paragraphs, one on the chi-squares that you run and one on the t-tests.
Also hand in your output and syntax as usual.
