Stata Question

[Aditya Munot]

How can this be done on Stata? Using Stata, create a summary table for the variable “studio”, listing the frequency and the percent of the movies in each studio. Now create a bar graph showing the percentage of each studio with the bar height labeled. Make sure you put an appropriate title on the graph.

That sounds like a homework question. We don't answer those. The point of such homework is that you puzzle till you find the answer. That is how you learn. If you need hints you need to talk to your instructor.

😳 That approach looks awfully off. What is the reason of posting it?

I guess that Paul Dickman is making a point about what not to do.

tabulate studio, gen(summary)

should work, but

egen percent = total(summary) / _N * 100

is wrong: it's going to trigger error messages for at least two different reasons. It is wrong even in spirit.

Otherwise, I agree with Maarten Buis that this looks like an assignment.
