pts.)
• Do you conclude based on your analysis that GPA depends on sex? What numbers tell you that(4 pts.)
• If you found a relationship, what is the strength of the relationship? Refer to numbers (2 pts.)
5. Use the Census data set on Long Beach (Census_A4) to examine the relationship between race (use

points)
Data Presentation and Graphing. For the last two questions you need to use the student questionnaire data
set.
• Univariate Analysis. Make a column chart in Excel that shows the frequency distribution for the
momed2_cats variable that represents level of mother’s education. Copy and paste SPSS output that
gives you frequency (4 pts.) Copy and paste one final chart made in Excel that includes a)-f).
• Relative frequency in the form of percent with a percent sign and one decimal space (using add data
labels in Excel). (2 points)
• Chart title (select above chart, under chart tools, layout. To get to chart tools you need to click once on

• A legend (show legend at right option under chart tools, layout). (1 point)
• Labels for both the x and y axis with the appropriate label. (2 points)

Tabulation. Use a smaller font than the rest of the words in your column chart for source. (1 point)
• Bivariate Analysis. a) Create a table (similar in format to table below on race and homeownership) in
Excel that shows the relationship between sex and level of busy (busy_2, more busy or less busy). Note
that source should be cited as Student Questionnaire Data Set, 2012. Provide SPSS output from crosstab
conducted (7 points)
b) Write three sentences that interpret percentages from the contingency table you created in Excel. (3
points)
