Exploring a CDC Data

mark

(10 pts)

In this problem, you’re going to download and explore your own sample of data from the CDC. This specific data comes from a continuing survey called the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System run by the CDC. While that survey actually generates data with half a million cases and over a hundred variables, your sample will have just about a couple thousand cases with nine variables. It’s actually a sub-sample of a sample generated by the author’s of our textbook. You can read more about the data on their website.

Choose your name from the following list to download your sample:

Once you get your sample, upload it to our data explorer. Then, perform some analysis to answer the following:

What are the
- Mean and standard devation

of the heights in your data set?
2. Generate a histogram of the heights of your data.
3. Generate a bar plot of the genhlth category.
