NHANES weights

Let's explore the NHANES survey weights. As we said, minorities are more likely to be sampled. To account for this, their survey weights will be smaller since they represent less people in the population. Let's see if this is reflected in the data.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Using dplyr, construct a table of mean survey weights, WTMEC4YR, by race, Race1. Call the table tab_weights.
  • Print the table and observe the differences in the average weights.
