Possible Points: 100 ASSIGNMENT 3: UNIVARIATE ANALYSES OF QUANTITATIVE DATA Overview In this assignment, you will be conducting univariate analyses of 10 variables. For each variable, I have provided a frequency distribution. Based on these frequency distributions you need to determine (a) whether the variable is nominal, ordinal, or interval/ratio, (b) explain why it is nominal, ordinal, or interval/ratio, and (c) based on that determination you need to calculate the appropriate measure(s) of central tendency: (1) the mode for nominal variables, (2) the mode AND the median for ordinal level variables, and (3) the mode, median, AND the mean for interval/ratio level variables. Example Frequency Distribution Here is an example frequency distribution so that you know how to interpret them. Frequency Distribution Cells contain: -N of cases Distribution Did you vote in the 2004 election? VOTED 898 DID NOT VOTE 295 INELIGIBLE 69 TOTAL 1,262 These are how the people are distributed among the response categories. So, in this case, 898 people said they voted in the 2004 election, 295 said they did not vote, and 69 said they were ineligible to vote. This is the total number of people who responded to this variable (useful to calculate the mean and the median). These are the variables attributes, or response categories. This is the name of variable, or a description of the variable.

Variable 1: Who do you work for?
