Use IBM SPSS to create, interpret, and analyze two histograms in a Word document.
Descriptive statistics are just what they sound like, statistics that allow you to describe or summarize the data with regard to such things as their distribution and their spread. Descriptive statistics provide you with a picture of your data while inferential statistics (which we will discuss in subsequent assessments) allow you to draw conclusions about relationships between variables or differences between groups.
A solid understanding of descriptive statistics is foundational to grasping the concepts presented in inferential statistics. This assessment measures your understanding of key elements of descriptive statistics.
Your first IBM SPSS assessment includes two sections in which you will do the following:
Create two histograms.
Calculate measures of central tendency and dispersion.
This will give you some experience with the data set.

Refer to the IBM SPSS Step-by-Step Guide: Histograms and Descriptive Statistics [PDF] and to the Copy/Export Output Instructions [PDF] for additional help in completing this assessment.

When I first discovered this website I was hesitant on whether they will deliver a plag free paper. The support team reassured me of their plagiarism policy. In deed they kept their word as the paper I got was authentic and plagiarism free.
