EXERCISE 4 - ANSWER

How many households are headed by females?

To figure this out, we need to first sort the file by household id (hhid). Then, we use the count command, along with the [_n] the and other qualifiers to derive the answer:

count if rel_head==1 & gender_n==2

According to STATA, there are 80 female headed households in the survey.
