Question 1

A distribution is:&#10;A) A way to organize data&#10;B) A way to disseminate data&#10;C) A way to send data&#10;D) A way to formulate data

Accepted Answer

A distribution is a way to organize data into classes or categories according to the frequency or proportion of data that falls into each category. It can be presented in various forms, such as a frequency distribution or a histogram, to help visualize and interpret the data.

Question 2

You can save your data file to all the following locations except:&#10;A) Local Hard Drive&#10;B) Thumb drive&#10;C) SETI&#10;D) Cloud Storage

Accepted Answer

SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) isn't a location where you can save your data. The best choices would be options A, B, and D as they provide reliable and easily accessible storage solutions.

Question 3

In what view can you ensure the level of measurement is appropriate?&#10;A) Nominal view&#10;B) Data view&#10;C) Storage view&#10;D) Variable view

Accepted Answer

The variable view in statistical software such as SPSS or R allows you to define the level of measurement for each variable in your dataset. This ensures that you are using appropriate statistical tests and analysis methods for the type of data you have. The other views listed do not pertain to defining the level of measurement.

Question 4

What menu item do you select to find the &#34;Descriptive Statistics&#8230;&#34; selection?&#10;A) Frequencies&#8230;&#10;B) Graphs&#10;C) Analyze&#10;D) Utilities

Accepted Answer

The "Descriptive Statistics…" selection can be found under the "Analyze" menu in SPSS.

Question 5

To create a frequency distribution, the variable required which level of measurement?&#10;A) Nominal&#10;B) Ordinal&#10;C) Scale

Accepted Answer

Scale level of measurement (which includes both interval and ratio levels) is required for creating a frequency distribution because it allows for the quantification of differences between data points, which is essential for categorizing data into frequencies. Nominal and ordinal levels do not provide the necessary quantitative information for such distributions.

Question 6

SPSS Statistics outputs the frequency distribution in a way that is formatted for publication.

Accepted Answer

SPSS Statistics outputs the frequency distribution in a table format that is not formatted for publication. However, the table can be exported to a word-processing software to be formatted for publication.

Question 7

In the SPSS frequency distribution, values that have 0 frequency are not shown.

Accepted Answer

In SPSS frequency distribution, values with 0 frequency are not shown in order to avoid clutter and make the chart easier to read.

Question 8

In the formatted frequency distribution, values that have 0 frequency are not shown.

Accepted Answer

In a formatted frequency distribution, values with 0 frequency can be shown to indicate that certain categories or intervals have no data points.

Question 9

On the SPSS Statistics output, the symbol &#34;N&#34; stands for &#34;number of cases.&#34;

Accepted Answer

This is correct. In SPSS Statistics output, the symbol "N" typically refers to the number of cases or observations in the data set.

Question 10

In the &#34;Frequencies&#34; dialog box, use the arrow to move your variable of interest to &#34;Variable(s)...&#34;

Accepted Answer

In the "Frequencies" dialog box, we need to move our variable of interest to "Variable(s)..." using the arrow.
