Florida County Data Set. This data set contains income, education, and infant mortality data for Florida’s counties (Appendix C.4). Classify the counties as to whether they have infant mortality rates at or below versus higher than the median rate (a median split). Do the same for income and percentage with no high school degree. Which of the latter two factors is most closely associated with having a high or low infant mortality rate? Answer the same question using infant mortality rate in its (uncategorized) quantitative form. What difficulties arise in this latter analysis and how could you address them? Are the results of the two methods of analysis consistent?
