Word count: `r wordcountaddin::word_count("Formative-template.Rmd") - 134`.
<!-- The above line will automatically calculate the word count of your report excluding the code chunks. We have manually added "- 134" to also substract from the word count the words in the info box below and the section headers. -->
<!-- Update the "- 134" in the code above to also take into account your bibliography. For example, if your bibliography is 52 characters then update the above to "- 186". -->

> **Important Information**
> 
> For this Formative Assessment you are asked to consolidate the main elements of the course across Weeks 1-5 in the form of a short report (500 words maximum). Use this template file to write your report and submit it as a knitted HTML document.
>
> The `nilt` dataset has already been loaded, variables coerced, and an `nilt_subset` dataframe created for you. Use the `nilt_subset` dataframe for this assessment. It has the same variables that will be used for the regression model in the Summative Assessment.
>
> - `persinc2` - Annual Personal Income
> - `rsex` - Sex
> - `religcat` - Religion
> - `orient` - Sexual Orientation
> - `uninatid` - NI Constitutional View
> - `tunionsa` - Trade Union Membership
> - `rsuper` - Supervisor
> - `rage` - Age
