This exercise was designed for a sociology course. Students will look at race/ethinicity, income and earnings in the United States.
With this assignment, students will learn to create and interpret bivariate and univariate tables to look at race and earnings.
This activity uses a customized data set made from the 20000 Census and guides students through data manipulation using WebCHIP software found at DataCounts!. To open WebCHIP with the dataset for the activity, please see instructions and links in the exercise documents under teaching materials. For more information on how to use WebCHIP, see the How To section on DataCounts!
