Prompt and question: what is the most common category selected, for Irish respondents, for frequency of binge drinking? The variable of interest is: alcbnge.
More info here: https://ess-search.nsd.no/en/variable/0c65116e-7481-4ca6-b1d9-f237db99a694.

Prompt and question: when you use the summary() function for the variable plnftr (about planning for future or taking every each day as it comes from 0-10) for both the countries of Portugal and Serbia, what do you notice? What stands out as different when you compare the two countries (note: look up the variable information on the ESS website to help with interpretation)? Explain while referring to the output generated.

A: By looking at the summary, we can see that the median and mean value is higher is Portugal than in Serbia. This indicates that more people in Serbia lean towards planning for the future than people in Portugal. Additionally, no Portuguese participant refused to answer.

Prompt and question: using the variables stfdem and gndr, answer the following: on average, who is more dissastified with democracy in Italy, men or women? Explain while referring to the output generated.

Prompt: Interpret the boxplot graph of stfedu and stfhlth that we generated already: according to ESS data, would we say that the median French person is more satisfied with the education system or health services? Explain.
Change the boxplot graph: provide the code to change some of the key labels: (1) Change the title to: Boxplot of satisfaction with the state of education vs. health services; (2) Remove the x-axis label; (3) Change the y-axis label to: Satisfaction (0-10).
Hint: copy the boxplot code above and just replace or cut what is asked.
A: The median French person is more satisfied with the health system than the education system. The box plot shows that the median line is lower for the education system than the median line for the health system. Since a score of 10 represents extreme satisfaction, a higher median indicates greater satisfaction.
