For Frank ONLY: Descriptive Statistics and Samples Versus Populations U2 IP

Using the data set electric.sav, use SPSS to run a distribution analysis on diastolic blood pressure (DBP58), examining the following for individuals who have had no history of cardiovascular heart disease and individuals with a history of cardiovascular heart disease (CHD). The variable that looks at individual history is CHD.

• Compute the following for each group:
  • Mean
  • Median
  • Quartiles
  • Range
  • Variance
  • Standard deviation
  • Skewness
  • Kurtosis 
  • o Under Plots, run a histogram, and show the normal curve on the histogram and run Stem-and-Leaf. (You will receive Box-and-Whiskers when running this analysis.)
  • Submit your outputs from all SPSS runs, and briefly describe your results by answering the following questions:
    
  • What can you determine from the measures of skewness and kurtosis relative to a normal curve? What are the mean and median?
  • Does one seem better than the other to represent the scores?
  • What differences can you see in the pattern of responses those with history versus those with no history?
  • What information can you determine from the box plots?
