Create a Histogram

Part 1

Create two histograms for visual interpretation using the following variables:

SPSS Variable	Definition
Lowup	Lower division =1; Upper division =2
Final	Final exam: number of correct answers

Create two histograms and paste them into your Word document:

· A histogram for lower division students.

· A histogram for upper division students.

Briefly describe what a visual inspection of this output tells you about the nature of the curves.

Part 2

Create a descriptives table to assess measures of central tendency and dispersion using the following variables:

SPSS Variable	Definition
