Statics

In this SPSS assignment, you will increase your understanding of graphs and frequency distributions as well as their value when interpreting data. Complete the following steps and include your responses to submit to your professor: Using the data in Table 1, where the grade is your factor and the score is your outcome variable, open a new SPSS file and enter the data. Then using the graph tab, then legacy dialogs, create the following graphs and include them in your submission. line graph bar chart pie chart Table 1 Data for Step 1 of Assignment Grade Score 1 45 2 56 3 49 4 57 5 61 6 72 Discuss which of these graphs (line, bar, pie) present these data better. Frequency Distributions The file SPSSExam.sav (Course Resources, Lesson 2) contains data regarding students performance on an SPSS exam. Four variables were measured: exam (first year SPSS exam score as a percentage), computer (measure of computer literacy in percent), lecture (percentage of SPSS lectures attended), and numeracy (a measure of numerical ability out of 15). There is a variable called uni indicating whether the students attended World University, Universe University, Planet University, and Cosmos University. Create two bar charts: one bar chart with sex (biological sex) in the x-axis and one bar chart with the university on the x-axis. Include these charts in your submission. Create two frequency distribution tables for sex and university attended. Include these tables in your submission and answer the following questions. What percentage of the sample is male and female? What percentage of the sample attended World U, Universe U, Planet U, and Cosmos U? For computer literacy, numerical ability, and lectures attended create three frequency distribution tables with their respective histograms. Include these tables with your submission and provide the following information. Computer Literacy Numeracy Lectures Attended Describe the shape of the frequency distributions. Differentiate between the frequency, percent, valid percent, and cumulative percent columns. Please discuss when it is appropriate to use a bar chart and when it is appropriate to use a histogram to display data (keep in mind the level of measurement of the variables). Remember that there are additional Supplemental Resources available for each week in the Course Resources linked at the top of your course.
