Open a new dataset in SPSS. Enter the three variables and all of the data. Once your data has all been entered, run the following analyses and answer the following questions in a Word document:
1. What type of data (nominal, ordinal, continuous/discrete) are your 3 variables?
2. Make the appropriate type of graph for each of your 3 variables. Copy and paste your graphs into your document.
3. For each of your 3 variables, explain if skewness is an appropriate descriptive statistic. If it is, is the variable approximately normally distributed, positively skewed, or negatively skewed? If your distribution is skewed, provide the skewness value.
4. For each of your 3 variables, give the appropriate measures of central tendency (remember that not all measures of central tendency are appropriate for every type of data).
5. For each of your 3 variables, give the standard deviation.
You should not be doing any hand calculations. Instead, use the functions of the program.
