3/27/00 RE: Paper 2. The NC data you look up will NOT give you the N of cases in each category on the question you are looking up. If you want you can calculate this based on the percentages and the total N of cases BUT YOU DO NOT NEED TO. If you DO calculate the N of cases for the NC data you will get some extra credit. But you NEED NOT DO THIS. Your table just needs to include the percentages from the NC data
