Calculate Mean, Standard Deviation, Variance And Range With SPSS
Question
Understanding and Exploring Assumptions
You will submit one Word document, including your SPSS output.
- Why do we care whether the assumptions required for statistical tests are met?
- Open the data set that you corrected in Activity #1 for DownloadFestival.sav. You will use the following variables: Day1, Day2, and Day3 (hygiene variable for all three days). Create a simple histogram for each variable. Choose to display the normal curve (under Element Properties) and title your charts. Copy these plots into your Word document.
- Now create probability-probability (p-p) plots for each variable. This output will give you additional information. Read over the Case Processing Summary. Notice that there is missing data for Days 2 and Day 3. Copy only the Normal p-p Plots into your Word document (you do not need to copy the beginning output nor the Detrended Normal p-p Plots).
- Examining the histograms and p-p plots, describe the dataset with particular attention toward the assumption of normality. For each day, do you think the responses are reasonably normally distributed? (Just give your impression of the data.) Why or why not?
- Using the same dataset and the Frequency command, calculate the standard descriptive measures (mean, median, mode, standard deviation, variance and range) as well as kurtosis and skew for all three hygiene variables. Paste your output into your Word document (you do not need to paste the Frequency Table). What does the output tell you? You will need to comment on: sample size, measures of central tendency and dispersion and well as kurtosis and skewness. You will need to either calculate z scores for skewness and kurtosis or use those given in the book to provide a complete answer. Bottom line: is the assumption of normality met for these three variables? Does this match your visual observations from question #1?
- Using the dataset SPSSExam.sav and the Frequency command, calculate: the standard descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, standard deviation, variance and range) plus skew and kurtosis, and histograms with the normal curve on the following variables: Computer, Exam, Lecture, and Numeracy for the entire dataset. Complete the same analysis using University as a grouping variable. Paste your output into your Word document (you do not need to paste the Frequency Table). What do the results tell you with regard to whether the data is normally distributed?
- Using the dataset SPSSExam.sav, determine whether the scores on computer literacy and percentage of lectures attended (with University as a grouping variable) meet the assumption of homogeneity of variance (use Levene’s test). You must remember to unclick the “split file” option used above before conducting this test. What does the output tell you? (Be as specific as possible.)
- Describe the assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance. When these assumptions are violated, what are your options? Are there cases in which the assumptions may technically be violated, yet have no impact on your intended analyses? Explain.
Summary
The question belongs to Statistics and it discusses about calculation of mean, median, mode, standard deviation, variance and range with the data given in .sav files.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
The course structure in the US is totally different from what I was used to. I was feeling totally bogged down with all the course load and numerous assignments of the different subjects. Thank god for TheReliableTutor and their brilliant Labor Economics Assignment experts I did not need to worry about the assignment once I submitted it to them.

I had missed the classes on Isometrics because I had to miss school for some family emergencies. With the existing course load I had not got time to catch up with the topic and so when time came to write the assignment on Isometrics I was absolutely clueless. Thanks to the basic mathematics assignment experts at HwA I was able to not only understand the assignment but also submit the essay on time. The quality of work provided is also very high and I have been noticing an upturn in my overall grades.

Chemical Engineering assignments need accuracy and I have got that accuracy every time from the assignment help experts at TheReliableTutor with my Chemical engineering transport phenomenon assignment and chemical engineering transport phenomenon homework help. I am definitely signing up for the next semester
Reggie Jacobs Student
I was finding it very hard to deal with the object oriented languages in the form of C++ and Java. I did well with C programming but in the latter semester I needed constant assistance from HwA and they had helped me tremendously.

Before approaching TheReliableTutor.com, zoology was one of the most difficult things in my life. But after taking sessions from TheReliableTutor.com, zoology has become more fun and more interesting to learn. Thank you guys..!!!

this is a very good website
I have 50 questions for the same test your page is showing only 28
hi can you please help or guide me to answer my assignments. thanks
hi can anyone help or guide me to my assignments. thanks
This solution is perfect ...thanks
Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
