Based on the completed dataset: 1. What percentage of this sample is male? What is the frequency? 2. What is the level of measurement for the variable Vegetarian? What percentage are vegetarians? 3. What percentage is unsure about whether there is life after death? 4. What is the cumulative percentage of those “somewhat” and “not at all spiritual”?

3. What percentage is unsure about whether there is life after death? How does this compare to Q3c? 4. What is the cumulative percentage that are somewhat and not at all spiritual? How does this compare to Q3d? 5. How have the mean and standard deviation for Age changed compared to Q4? Why is that? 6. Discuss the distribution and dispersion for UG_GPA, reporting the relevant statistics. 7. What is the average hours for Social Media use per week? 8. On average, does this group go more or less frequently to the pub compared to the larger sample? Support your answer with the appropriate statistic(s). * Take off the selection criteria (subset of data) before completing the next question. * 8. Recode Age from a continuous variable into a categorical one with five (5) categories: 1) 21-25 years, 2) 26-30 years, 3) 31-35 years, 4) 36-40 years, 5) 41 and older. Make sure you include the Value labels for the newly recoded variable in the Variable View tab. 1. Generate a frequency table of the newly recoded variable ( Age_5 ) and insert here. 2. Create a bar chart for this variable with percentage information in the bars and insert here. 3. What is the mode/modal category for age? How many people are in this group? 4. What percentage of the sample is between 26-30 years old? 5. How many people are 41 or older? 6. What percentage of this sample is 30 or less? The following are calculation questions (SPSS not required). Please show your work: 9. If you roll a die three times, what is the probability of getting a 2 each time? (1/6)x( ⅙ )x( ⅙ ) =1/126 or 0.00462963 10. Here are a set of score: 7 2 6 1 9 3 5 2. If we were to randomly select one of the scores, what is the probability this score will be: 1. Greater than 4? 4/8 or ¼ or 25% 2. Less than 8? ⅞ or 87.5%

3. An odd number? 11. A fixed price menu offers a choice of 4 appetizers, 3 main courses and 4 desserts. If a tree diagram is used to list all possible meal combinations from the menu, how many options are there? (you don’t have to draw the tree diagram) There are 52 branches and 36 options 4x3x3=36
