Today we are going to work on an assignment that will help familiarize you with data formats, variables and a few basic statistics.
We are going to do some internet research. There is a tremendous amount of data available on the internet. Pick a topic of interest to you. You can pick any topic, as long as it is interesting to you.
Now, I would like you to find a data set related to your chosen topic on the internet. You must pick a data set that includes at least the following:
* 30 cases
* one nominal-level variable
* one ordinal-level variable
* one interval-level variable
I will show you how to copy and paste this data into Excel. From there, you will obtain sums, means, medians and modes. After that, I will show you how to import the data into SPSS and obtain the same numbers in that program.
