    1. Using the same method from III.b. create a new field in the Attribute table of the Census_Clip Layer

    2. Name the New field ExpWh make sure to set the Type as Double, Precision to 18, and scale to 3

    3. Calculate the value of these fields by Right clicking on the field -> Field Calculator -> Yes

    4. In the text box calculate the field value as (White)*(OzContr)

    5. Repeat for the fields by creating new exposure fields and then calculating the exposure Hispanic, Males, Females, AGE_Under5, Age_30_39, and Age_65_up
