Introduction:

From the dataset, I chose UniqueID# 36. I am married with an annual income of $99610. I am the head of the household and I am 36. It is only two of us, me and my spouse. We both have our bachelor’s degree and are both employed. Our annual income is a total of both our incomes together in the household.

Table 1. Variables Selected for the Analysis

Variable Name in data set	Description	Type of Variable (Qualitative or Quantitative)
Variable 1: “Income”	Annual household income in USD.	Quantitative
Variable 2: “Age Head Household”	Head of household’s age group	Quantitative
Variable 3: “Family Size”	Household family size	Qualitative
Variable 4:” Food Expenditures”	Total amount of expenditure of food annually	Quantitative
Variable 5:” Entertainment Expenditures”	Total amount of expenditure on entertainment annually	Quantitative

Data Set Description and Method Used for Analysis:

The data is undertaken by making random sampling from the US department of labor’s 2016 consumer expenditure surveys. The data includes the annual expenditures of 30 households. For the analysis, we are using four socioeconomic variables and four expenditure variables. Here we have undertaken the annual household income in USD, head of the household’s age group, household family size, the total amount of expenditure of food annually, and the total amount of expenditure on entertainment annually as the variables.

Results:

Variable 1: Income

Discussion and Conclusion.

As we can see from the above results, among the 30 households the mean income is 99661.03 and the mean age is around 47 of the households. Their mean annual food expenditures around 8504 USD and entertainment expenditures 110 USD. From the histogram, we can see that the income and the expenditures are normally distributed, and the pie chart shows that most of the households are with 3-4 members in their family. The box plot shows the distribution of income among households based on their ages.
