Even for another purpose, using -egen- to create a variable containing a
single mean is hideously inefficient. Use -su, meanonly- and pick up
r(mean) afterwards.

Some leftover from another code. It is useless in that code.

What is your -egen- line good for?

Would this approach make sense?

sysuse auto, clear
set seed 2940688
logit foreign price weight rep78

preserve

drawnorm b1-b4, n(20000) means(e(b)) cov(e(V)) clear

gen ratio=-(b2)/(b1)

egen mean=mean(ratio)

_pctile ratio, p(2.5,97.5)
    gen ll=r(r1)
    gen ul= r(r2)

sum ratio ll ul
