Research Paper

Instruction

1. In a Word document, list the research question you used in Assignment 2. You SHOULD alter it if you were told there were errors or if it needed to be more specific, if you do not, you will lose 5 points.
2. Open SPSS and a blank sheet. Create 10 fake variables (go into Variable view- follow directions from our lectures). The variables you enter and code should have relevance to the RQ you listed above. Make sure to include a variety of variable types for each of the statistical tests you will be running- categorical variables (make one variable bimodal {3 points}), a dichotomized variable (such as yes/no) and at least 2 continuous variables (these are raw numbers that are not categorized). Make sure you fill out all of the cells in the variable view page- label, values, etc. Everyone in class will have different variables because you all have different RQs (20 points for this total step).
Now switch to Data view and enter 20 fake cases of subjects (20 points for this step). Don’t keep using the same ones, there should be variability.
Take a screenshot of both the data view and variable view of cases you have entered (show all) into SPSS and the variables that you have coded (show all). This should only be two screen shots. Now paste the screen shots under Number 1 above, your RQ (10 points for this step). Make sure I can see all columns and cases in the screen shot.
3. Run the modes on the categorical and dichotomies you have added to your dataset. Cut and paste that table under the above screen shot (10 points for this step).
4. Run the mean, median, standard deviation and variance for the continuous number variables. Cut and paste that table under the above (10 points).
