1. Open the dataset in SPSS and go to the “Variable View” tab. Tell me about your selected independent variable (IV) and dependent variable (DV) by completing the table below.

Do this before you complete the rest of the document. Note that if you choose the chi square test, you must have your assumptions met. If your assumptions are not met, you must reconsider your research question.
