Exploring and Presenting Categorical and Continuous Data
Exploring and Presenting Categorical and Continuous Data WORKSHEET The professor want us to follow this worksheet closely. I will send the SPSS data information to support for this assignment.
Thank you.
Descriptive statistics are often combined with frequency distributions to quickly determine a basic mathematical as well as a visual understanding of a large amount of collected data (Mihaescu, 2012). Basic inferential statistics—involving more advanced hypothesis testing and predictive power—will be introduced later in the course.
This week, you will be exploring data with graphs using SPSS. Researchers use graphs to present a better and clearer picture of the data. Among the different types of graphs that you will be examining in this section are line graphs, bar charts, and pie charts. Some of these graphs better represent nominal and ordinal data, while some better represent interval and ratio data.
You will also examine frequency distributions, such as tables and histograms—which is a way of presenting data that shows the number of cases in each of the variables. For parametric statistics, the histogram is an important depiction of the data, as it displays the counts of interval and ratio data. Histograms are used to explore whether the data is normally distributed (this will be discussed later on in the course).
Remember that there are additional resources available in the Supplemental Resources under Course Resources from the course home page.
Hello Writer,
The work for this week needs to answer the questions directly into this worksheet from the data given from SPSS. The Professor asked me to just answer the questions in this worksheet directly into this worksheet below. I will send the SPSS 27 data for this assignment through an email with Support.
Week 2 – Assignment: Develop Graphs and Frequency Distributions
for Categorical and Continuous Variables (10 Points)
Any statistical software provides you the opportunity to create graphs and
visually depict the data and the results of your analyses. This week, you will
create several different types of graphs and provide examples of different
graphs.
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:
1.
Using the following data, 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.
a.
line graph
b.
bar chart
c.
pie chart
Grade
Score
1 45
2 56
3 49
4 57
5 61
6 72
2.
Discuss which of these graphs (line, bar, pie) present these data
better.
