Quantitative Analysis: Data Coding, Entry, and Checking

Using the “college student data.sav” and “hsbdata.sav”
files, do the following problems. Write a short narrative of your process, an
interpretation of your findings, and write your results. Cut and paste your
outputs directly into your document and refer to them in your interpretation.

SPSS Problems
Chapter 2
Using the
CollegeStudentData.sav file see attached files do the following problems. Print your outputs and circle the key
parts for discussion.
Compute
the N, minimum, maximum, and mean for all the variables in the College
StudentData.sav file. How many students have complete data? Identify any
statistics on the output that are not meaningful. Explain.
What is the
mean height of the students? What about the average height of the same-sex
parent? What percentage of students are males? What percentage have children?
Make Sure to:
1 Include a table of contents and a
reference section. Number your pages in the footer along with the date.
2. Write the problem
number and the problem title as a level one heading (Example ‐ A.1.1: Chapter
2, Problem 2.1, and then provide your
response.
3. Use level two headings
with short titles
for multi part questions (Example
‐ A1.1.a, Short Title,
A1.1.b, Short Title II, etc.)
4. Use appropriate level headings for key elements
of your discussion such as Research Questions, Hypotheses, Descriptive
Statistics, Assumptions & Conditions, Interpretation, Results, and others.
Your goal is to make your analysis easy to follow and logical.
5.
Ensure
that all tables and graphs are legible and include a figure number.
6. Carefully review
your document prior to submission for formatting, flow, and readability. Keep
in mind that running the statistical tests is only the first half of the
challenge; you must be able to clearly communicate your findings to the reader.
