Introduction to Quantitative Analysis: Confidence Intervals

In your Week 2 Assignment, you displayed data based on a categorical variable and continuous variable from a specific dataset. In Week 3, you used the same variables as in Week 2 to perform a descriptive analysis of the data. For this Assignment, you will calculate a confidence interval in SPSS for one of the variables from your Week 2 and Week 3 Assignments.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you chose) from Week 2.
  • Choose an appropriate variable from Weeks 2 and 3 and calculate a confidence interval in SPSS.
  • Once you perform your confidence interval, review Chapter 5 and 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

SPSS Assignment

This week you will compute Confidence Intervals, you should use an appropriate variable from the SAME 2 variables you used in Week 3 from the same data set, either the Afrobarometer or HSLS data set. To clarify, you will select only one of the two variables you used in Week 3. Think about the measurement level of your variable, make sure it is appropriate to compute a confidence interval for that level of measurement. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean of that variable.

**Unlike the discussion, you will use all of the cases in the assignment; Do Not take a random sample. This should make it easier!**

Include the SPSS output for your confidence interval in the paper. Be sure to include a figure caption in APA format for your output.

Write a one paragraph summary of the results of the confidence interval. This will be very brief.

Write a final, single, paragraph that explains the implications for social change.

Length
Limit your writing to 2 paragraphs, as described above.
