Description

Introduction to Quantitative Analysis: Visually Displaying Data Results

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider visual displays of data.
  • For additional support, review Levels of Measurement
  • Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • From the dataset you chose, choose one categorical and one continuous variable and perform the appropriate visual display for each variable.
  • Once you visually display each variable, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

For this Assignment:

Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your results and include a copy and paste of the appropriate visual display of the data into your document.

Please include the following Headings and Subheading in APA 7 writing style.

1. Introduction

2. The implications for Social Change based on the Results

3. Early in your Assignment, when you relate which dataset you analyzed, please include the mean of the following variables. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES.

The HSLongstudy dataset provides information about the characteristics of high school
students. The selected variables for this analysis are the geographical location of the school
(X1Region) and the socioeconomic status composite (X1ses).
The first variable is a qualitative, categorical variable, as it classifies the different high
schools according to their location within the country. The codes used in the identification of
the various locations are 1 (Northeast), 2 (Midwest), 3 (South), and 4 (West). Considering the
categorical level of measurement of this variable, a suitable visual representation to illustrate
the obtained results is a frequency bar. This graph shows the number of high schools in each of
the regions. As shown in figure 1, this number is higher in the South region and lower in the
Northeast and West regions.
The second variable is continuous. This quantitative variable represents a continuum of
possible socioeconomic status indices, which monitor the level of socioeconomic wealth in the
region. The best visual representation for this type of continuous varia...
