1. Below is a frequency distribution of the number of voluntary associations people reported being members of in 2016. Suppose you wanted to collapse this variable into four ordinal categories that measure levels of membership: None, Low, Moderate, and High.

number of memberships	frequency	percentage
0	1908	53.6
1	628	17.6
2	518	14.5
3	258	7.2
4	123	3.4
5	76	2.1
6 or more	49	1.6
TOTAL	3558	100.0

a. Cre ate an empty frequency distribution table, like the one below:

level of membership	frequency	percentage
none
low
moderate
high
total	3558	100.0

b. Make some reasonable methodological decisions about how to collapse the number of memberships into the four ordinal categories. For example, because "None" is the lowest ordinal level, clearly 1,908 respondents (53.6 percent) would be assigned to that category. Write down the number of memberships you would combine to create the "Low" category, the "Moderate" category, and the "High" category.

c. Having made your decisions in part B, go ahead and fill in the frequencies and percentages for the collapsed table you created in part A.
