Description
In your Week 2 Assignment, you displayed data based on a categorical variable and continuous variable from a specific dataset. In Week 3, you used the same variables as in Week 2 to perform a descriptive analysis of the data. For this Assignment, you will calculate a confidence interval in SPSS for one of the variables from your Week 2 and Week 3 Assignments.
To prepare for this Assignment:
- Review the Learning Resources related to probability, sampling distributions, and confidence intervals.
- Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you chose) from Week 2.
- Choose an appropriate variable from Weeks 2 and 3 and calculate a confidence interval in SPSS.
- Once you perform your confidence interval, review Chapter 5 and 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

The statistical report seeks to provide the 95% confidence interval of a quantitative
variable taken from HS Longitudinal Study dataset. The variable taken for finding the
confidence interval is,”T1 Scale of student’s mathematics utility.”
Variable
The scale of student’s mathematical utility is measured based on certain question
about the utility of mathematics in the near future. The higher the value of student’s
mathematic utility i...
