WU Introduction to Quantitative Analysis Descriptive Analysis Report
For this Introduction to Quantitative Analysis: Descriptive Analysis Assignment, you will examine the same two variables you used from your Week 2 Assignment and perform the appropriate descriptive analysis of the data given.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review this week’s Learning Resources and the Central Tendency and Variability media program.
For additional support, review the Skill Builder: Measures of Central Tendency for Continuous Variables, Skill Builder: Standard Deviation as a Measure of Variability for Continuous Variables and the Skill Builder: Measures of Central Tendency and Variability for Categorical Variables, which you can find by navigating back to your Blackboard Course Home Page. From there, locate the Skill Builder link in the left navigation pane.
Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset from your Assignment in Week 2.
Choose the same two variables you chose from your Week 2 Assignment and perform the appropriate descriptive analysis of the data.
Once you perform your descriptive analysis, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.
Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your descriptive analysis results and include a copy and paste your output from your analysis into your final document.
Based on the results of your data, provide a brief explanation of what the implications for social change might be. 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.
Use appropriate APA format, citations and referencing. Refer to the APA manual for appropriate citation.

Create Variable Control Charts
Control charts assist health care administration leaders in determining which processes in their health services organization are in control. As a tool, creating variable control charts such as the Xbar and R charts are useful since they help to present the data in meaningful ways, which allow health care administration leaders to make quick decisions regarding those processes not in control.For this Assignment, review the resources for this week that are specific to variable control charts. Focus on mimicking the development of the Xbar and R charts in the chapter rather than the Xbar and S charts or I-MR charts.The Assignment: (3–4 pages)Using SPSS and Microsoft Word, complete problems 1 through 5 on pages 263–264 in the Ross textbook. Show allwork. Submit both your SPSS and Word files.
