Statistics Exercise

Instructions:
Assignment must be neatly presented in a Word document
including tables or
graphs from SPSS for the statistics exercise.

1.
Emily wants to find out if there is a
difference in cultural competence and workplace conflict
between those who
attend the training versus those who did not. Run an appropriate test and
report the result.

2.
Emily wants to identify if the level of
cultural competence between men and women among
those who did not attend the
training is significantly different. Run an appropriate test and report
the
result.

3.
Consider how Emily can compare the difference
in workplace conflict among different
departments. Create a new variable called
Deptype by transforming “Q24 (Which department do
you work for?)
into a variable with four department types. Label it as Department Types.
Combine City Hall Administrator, and City Hall Technician and
call it City Hall with a value of 1. Combine
Field and Fleet and Transit
as one group and call it Field with a value of 2. Keep Culture and
Recreation as 3 and recode Public Safety as 4. Currently, value 7 is
assigned for Rather not say.
Using the Missing Value dialogue box, enter
value 7 under The Discrete Missing Values option. Now value 7 will be
defined as missing value and will be excluded from the analysis. Conduct the
analysis and interpret the results. (See Appendix A for instructions in
creating new variables.)

4.
The director of the Wisconsin Department of
Business Licensing is looking for ways to improve employee productivity.
Specifically, she would like to see an improvement in the percentage of
applications that employees process correctly. The director randomly selects 50
employees
and gathers data on the percentage of applications each one correctly
processed last month. On
the recommendation of a consultant, the director has
these 50 employees complete a 3-day workshop in Proactive Synergy Restructuring
Techniques (PSRTs). At the end of the month following
the PSRT training, the
director collects the application processing data for the same 50 employees.
Help the director analyze these data. From a statistical standpoint, what can
you tell the
director? (Note: The dataset for this problem, Data for
Q4 on Assignment 3.sav, is available along with Assignment file.)
