Description

In this week's Discussion, you determined the benefits of visually displaying your data. You also learned that different types of data require different visual displays to adequately "tell the story" of the phenomena. Although the Discussion was difficult, what is even more difficult and challenging will be deciding on how best to display the data for presentation purposes. As you move further along in your dissertation or doctoral study, you will find that displaying data will be critical component in presenting a robust and clear capstone project

• Review this week's Learning Resources and consider visual displays of data.
• For additional support, review the Skill Builder: Unit of Analysis and the Skill Builder: Levels of Measurement, 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 (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. 

Write an analysis of your results and include a copy and paste of the appropriate visual display of the data into your document.

Based on the results of your data, provide a brief explanation of what the implications for social change might be. Early in your task, 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.
