Q Please note you will need a computer to do this assignment and not a mobile phone. As a scientist we are expected to conduct research and do so on computers so we do not have to hand compute quantitative formulas with large data sets. AFTER reviewing the lecture notes on SPSS in class, please test for the correlation of any two variables in the data set. And then, discuss your results. Your discussion must include the coefficients and their level of statistical significance (the asterisks). If there is no asterisk, they do not correlate and you may not use them as they cannot be interpreted as a correlation. NOTE: You will need to have SPSS to do this assignment. You may upload a free but limited time (2 weeks) version of SPSS here: https://www.ibm.com/account/reg/us-en/signup?formid=urx-19774Links to an external site. A step-by-step document may be found here: SPSS demo.pdf Download SPSS demo.pdf The data file is here: NELLS88.LAVC..sav Download NELLS88.LAVC..sav Once you are on a computer with SPSS open the above file (NELLS88) and follow my directions to answer this week's discussion prompt. *************** Example: is there a correlation between a student who lives in a household with other relatives AND a household with other non-relatives? I would first click on Analyze. Then, Correlate (chose bivariate) Click and drag (or double click) on the variables in the left window and bring them into the window on the right (under “Variables”) R Lives in Household w/Other Relatives and R Lives in Household W/Non-Relatives Be sure Pearson test is clicked (this is the default setting) Click OK You will receive this output: Correlation coefficients between two variables: R Lives in Household W/Other Relative(s) and R Lives in Household with Non-Relatives Correlations R LIVES IN HOUSEHOLD W/OTHER RELATIVE(S) R LIVES IN HOUSEHOLD W/ NON-RELATIVE(S) R LIVES IN HOUSEHOLD W/OTHER RELATIVE(S) Pearson Correlation 1 .020* Sig. (2-tailed) .022 N 13659 13659 R LIVES IN HOUSEHOLD W/ NON-RELATIVE(S) Pearson Correlation .020* 1 Sig. (2-tailed) .022 N 13659 13659 *. Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed). The answer to our question is: There is a statistically significant correlation between if a student lives in a household with other relatives and a household with non-relatives (r = .02*). Remember, if there is no asterisk, there is no statistical significance, and no covariation or correlation. There is no effect between X and Y. You may not use variables in this assignment unless there is a correlation. This topic was locked Dec 4 at 11:59pm. SPSS.demo.pdf
