You will be using SPSS software to do most of your analysis. SPSS is at the mercy of your input.

• What are variables and in what ways can you enter data into SPSS?
• Once you have numeric data into SPSS, what steps are required to define the meanings of the numbers for SPSS? (This requires explaining the components of Variable View in SPSS.)
• Why is it important to SPSS that you define these meanings?

Part 2

• Identify a data set that you might use for the final assignment. (You will not be required to use this choice when you reach that assignment in the course.) To do this, open  the SPSS data file (attached)  . Look at the variables that are available within the data set. Which variables interest you? What type of relationship might exist between the variables?
• Explain your rationale for selecting this data set.
