QUESTIONS
1. List at least three missing or incorrectly entered responses in this database that could be corrected without major likelihood of making incorrect assumptions. How would you clean those responses?
2. Let’s say that an AUDIT score of 16 or higher suggests a possible alcohol use disorder (AUD). Using 16 as a cutoff, recode the AUDIT into a new column called AUD as a dichotomous variable, whereby having a possible AUD=1 and not having a possible AUD=0.
3. Create a new variable called SES, by recalculating education and employment as follows: A person who is employed and has at least 12 years of education=2; all others=1.
