Use the GSS2016.SAV file and SPSS to produce a CROSSTAB for the variables CLASS and RECYCLE. Before conducting your analysis, first reverse code SATJOB so that 1 = Very Dissatisfied; 2=Moderately Dissatisfied; 3=Moderately Satisfied; and 4=Very satisfied. Set all other values (8, 9) to system missing. Then examine the relationship between social class and job satisfaction by testing both statistical significance and strength of association. Use chi-square for significance and choose the appropriate measures for strength of association (Phi, Cramer’s V, Lambda, or
Correlation
Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.
Linear Correlation
A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.
Regression Analysis
Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as predictors. Regression analysis is one of the methods to find the trends in data. The independent variable used in Regression analysis is named Predictor variable. It offers data of an associated dependent variable regarding a particular outcome.

Use chi-square for significance and choose the appropriate measures for strength of association (Phi, Cramer’s V, Lambda, or Gamma). Set alpha to .05.
State the null and research hypotheses:
H0:
H1:
What is the obtained chi-square value?
What is the significance level (p-value) for the obtained chi-square?
Should we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
Is there a statistically significant relationship between these variables?
Which measure of association would be most appropriate for these variables?
What is the value of the measure of association?
Interpret your findings by explaining in full sentences whether there is a statistically significant relationship or not and the strength of the relationship. Also explain any patterns you see in the percentages:
