\nSPSS Problems
\nChapter 3<\/p>\n
\nUse the hsbdata.sav file to do these problems with one or more of these variables: math
\nachievement, mother\u2019s education, ethnicity, and academic track. Use Tables 3.2, 3.3, and the
\ninstructions in the text to produce the appropriate plots or descriptive statistics. Be sure that the
\nplots and\/or descriptive statistics make sense (i.e. that they are a \u201cgood choice\u201d or \u201cOK\u201d) for the
\nvariable.
\n3.1. Create bar charts. Discuss why you did or did not create a bar chart for each variable.
\n3.2. Create histograms. Discuss why you did or did not create a histogram for each variable.
\n3.3. Create frequency polygons. Discuss why you did or did not create a frequency polygon for
\neach variable. Compare the plots in Extra SPSS Problems 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.
\n3.4. Compute the range, standard deviation, and skewness. Discuss which measures of variability
\nare meaningful for each of the four variables.
\n3.5. Compute the mean, median, and mode. Discuss which measures of central tendency are
\nmeaningful for each of the four variables.
\nMake Sure to:
\n1. Attach your word document for review and grading. Other file formats are not
\naccepted and will not be graded. Use the following filename format:
\nLastName_BUSI820_AssignmentX.docx
\n2. Include an APA title block with your name, class title, date, and the assignment number.
\n3. Include a table of contents and a reference section. Number your pages in the footer
\nalong with the date. Include a header starting on page 2 with the Course and
\nassignment number.
\n4. Write the problem number and the problem title as a level one heading (Example \u2010
\nA.1.1: Chapter 2, Problem 2.1, and then provide your response.
\n5. Use level two headings with short titles for multi part questions (Example \u2010 A1.1.a,
\nShort Title, A1.1.b, Short Title II, etc.)
\n6. Use appropriate level headings for key elements of your discussion such as Research
\nQuestions, Hypotheses, Descriptive Statistics, Assumptions & Conditions,
\nInterpretation, Results, and others. Your goal is to make your analysis easy to follow
\nand logical.
\n7. Ensure that all tables and graphs are legible and include a figure number.
\n8. Carefully review your document prior to submission for formatting, flow, and
\nreadability. Keep in mind that running the statistical tests is only the first half of the\n<\/p>\n
challenge; you must be able to clearly communicate your findings to the reader.<\/p>\n
