Create the EDUCATION data set. EDUCATION contains educational data (footnote 1) about some U.S. states. DropoutRate is the percentage of high school dropouts. Expenditures is the dollar amount the state spends on each pupil. MathScore is the score of eighth-grade students on a standardized math test. Not all states participated in the math test. A DATA step creates this data set.
