Exercise

Race and Ethnic Representation in the Mortgage Data

In this exercise, you'll get the race and ethnic proportions of borrowers in the mortgage data set, adjusted by the total number of borrowers. This will turn the race and ethnicity table you created before into a proportion. Later on, you'll use these values to adjust for the race and ethnic proportions of the US population.
