Use the GSS14SSDS-A data set to complete this assignment.
Use the SPSS Frequencies command to produce a frequency table for the variable HEALTH. Answer the following questions in your table:
What is the number of valid respondents?
Based on the valid number of respondents, what percentage of the sample reported being in excellent health?
What portion of the sample is in poor health?
What is the best way to graphically display these data? Explain.
The data set included answers to a series of questions on attitudes about immigrants. In the chapter, we examined the relationship between race and attitudes about immigrants and jobs (IMMJOBS). There are two additional variables to consider—IMMCULT (Immigrants undermine American culture) and IMMEDUC (Legal immigrants should have the same education as Americans).
Complete the following steps:
Run frequencies for all the three variables (including IMMJOBS).
Prepare a general statement summarizing your results from the three frequency tables. Identify the level of measurement for each variable. How would you describe respondents’ attitudes about immigrants?
Compile your assignment in a Microsoft® Word document.
