Hi All,
I am a beginner in stata version 8 and came across the summary below
in one of my researches. Can somebody out there help me in the vivid
explanation of the summary below?
Thanking you very much in advance.
Looks to me like the average person has 15.5 children, they have an
average height of 114 inches (9.5 feet) and weigh between 15 & 30
pounds, and were born somewhere around 10 a.d. :)
Seriously, they are just summary statistics and could have been
generated by any number of programs. If you don't know what they
mean then just look in any intro stats text book or see the help for
the summarize command. This has the look and feel of a "homework
problem" which may make people reluctant to answer it, so if not you
might clarify why you are interested.
