    This document provides instructions for an assignment analyzing data from the hsbdata.sav dataset. Students are asked to create bar charts, histograms, and frequency polygons for variables like math achievement, mother's education, ethnicity, and gender. They also must compute descriptive statistics like range, standard deviation, skewness, mean, median and mode for each variable and discuss which are meaningful based on the type of variable. The goal is to select the appropriate plots and statistics based on whether each variable is categorical or quantitative.

    Assignment 1

    Use the hsbdata.sav to do these problems with one or more of these variables: math
    achievement, mother’s education, ethnicity, and gender. Use table or figure to produce the
    appropriate plots or descriptive statistics. Be sure that the plots and/or descriptive statistics
    make sense for the variable.

    1. Create bar charts. Discuss why did or didn’t create a bar chart for each variable.
    2. Create histograms. Discuss why did or didn’t create a bar chart for each variable.
    3. Create frequency polygons. Discuss why you did or didn’t create a frequency polygon
    for each variable.
    4. Compute the range, standard deviation, and skewness. Discuss which measure of
    variability are meaningful for each of the four variables.
    5. Compute the mean, median, and mode. Discuss which measures of central tendency
    are meaningful for each of the four variables.
