Using an abbreviated version of the 2015 UK Millennium Cohort survey dataset (mcs.dta), perform the following exercises. Note: the survey was carried out in 2015 to 14 year-old pupil in the UK. The dataset consists of nearly 12,000 observations and 52 variables. You need to use the haven package to read-in the data. Perform recoding and labeling on the variables below. Note: for all the variables, you need to first convert them to factors using the as.factor() function.
mths - rename as maths and label the values as 1=’1. Strongly Disagree’;2=’2. Disagree’;3=’3. Agree’;4=’4. Strongly Agree’. This variable includes pupils’ responses to whether they were good at mathematics.
