· Application: Cross Tabulation
Variable relationships are very important in quantitative
research. They tell researchers what effect different variables have upon one
another. One of the easiest ways to display relationships between variables is
through a cross-tabulation (cross-tab). A cross-tab is simply a chart that
shows frequency or distribution of one or more variables for every category of
another variable. Stated another way, a cross-tab is a joint frequency
distribution of observations on two or more sets of variables. These statistical
observations can be presented by numeric frequency, percentages, or both,
depending on which is most useful given the specific data context.
For this Application Assignment, perform a cross-tabulation on the data
provided in the handout “Week 10 Dataset” such that property crime is displayed
as a rate per student population. Though Excel is not the only software that
can be used to perform a cross-tabulation, it is used here because it is a
widely available program. The handout entitled, “Cross-Tabulation in Excel”
contains instructions on how to complete the task in Excel using two different
methods.
The assignment (2–3 pages):
· Using Excel, perform a cross tabulation on the data provided in the Week 10 dataset.
· Explain what you can conclude from the output of the cross tabulation.
· Include your outputs in your Application Assignment document. (Copy and paste them from Excel into your Word doc.)

The question numbers and answer values are explained below.
Frequencies: How often does each value occur?
EXAMPLE 1.
I want to know how many females and males there are. That is question Q2. Females = 1 and males = 2
STEP 1.
Since the possible values are 1 & 2, enter those values below and to the left of Q2, as shown below. In Excel terminology, this is called the “bins array.”
STEP 2.
Highlight the cells next to the bin array as shown below.

STEP 3.
Enter the frequency function:
=FREQUENCY(DATA ARRAY,BINS ARRAY)
The data array refers to the answers you want to count.
STEP 4.
Enter:
CONTROL + SHIFT + ENTER
Entering ENTER only will not work.

STEP 5.
Dress up the results as you see fit. For example:
EXAMPLE 2.
During the past 30 days, on how many days did youth have at least one drink of alcohol (Q41)?
1 = 0 days 5 = 10 to 19 days
2 = 1 or 2 days 6 = 20 to 29 days
3 = 3 to 5 days 7 = All 30 days
4 = 6 to 9 days
