Question 1. Write a program called question1 that prints the following table (including Question 1 in the header). The XX values should be replaced with correct values found in the dataset, and should be rounded to the nearest whole number for age and to one decimal place to the right of the decimal point for other variables. Make sure the summary statistics are vertically aligned and justified along the left margin. Run your program and display the table (i.e., in .log file). Also, output these results to Question1.xlsx

Question 1                Previous Transplant (N=XX) Previous Transplant (N=XX) 
Age, median (IQR)         XX (XX-XX)                 XX (XX-XX)
Sex, %                    XX.X                       XX.X
Race/Ethnicity, %:
   White                  XX.X                       XX.X
   Black                  XX.X                       XX.X
   Hispanic               XX.X                       XX.X
   Asian                  XX.X                       XX.X
   Other                  XX.X                       XX.X
 

Question 2. Your research group is investigating demographic characteristics associated with the propensity to receive a donor organ that meets the “expanded donor criteria”. You run a logistic regression including the following postestimation commands:

logistic don_ecd age gender i.race
lincom age
return list

//factor variables
codebook race
lincom _b[4.race]
return list 

Print a summary table as shown below (this is how it should appear in your .log file), with odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The XXXX values should be replaced with the actual values found in the dataset, and should be displayed with two decimal places to the right of the decimal point. Also, create a Question2.xlsx with this output properly formatted.

Question 2
Variable            OR    (95% CI)
Age                 X.XX  (X.XX-X.XX)
Female              X.XX  (X.XX-X.XX)
Race/Ethnicity            
   White           Reference
   Black           X.XX  (X.XX-X.XX)
   Hispanic        X.XX  (X.XX-X.XX)
   Asian           X.XX  (X.XX-X.XX)
   Other           X.XX  (X.XX-X.XX)
