The involvement or not of a homestead in an activity has already been stored in CS11Data2b as PURCAT, SELCAT etc. By stacking these variables in the same way and forming a frequency table, counts of 152, 144, 154, 117, 64, 139, 37 16 and 154 for the different activities, respectively, are obtained. We can add these to the table and use them as denominators to form the percentages.
