The researcher used an anxiety self-quiz to gauge the student’s anxiety. The score for 30 students are given here.  69 99 91 66 70 98 70 53 40 58 61 66 94 77 70 56 88 85 86 40 84 86 54 48 86 43 78 53 79 89   1.     Construct a frequency table with class, frequency, relative percent, and cumulative percent that has 6 classes to describe the distribution of the data in SPSS.    2.     Use the frequency table to construct a histogram in SPSS.      3.     Use SPSS to calculate the numerical descriptive statistics mean, median, standard deviation, and variance of the anxiety scores.    4.  The following table shows distributions of bachelor’s degrees earned in 2011–2012 for selected fields of study by all male graduates and by all female graduates.

(B) Since the total numbers of male and female graduates are fairly different—600.0 thousand and 803.6 thousand—it is helpful to convert first to relative frequencies before making comparisons between male and female graduates. Then, inspect these relative frequencies and note what appear to be the most conspicuous differences between male and female graduates. (C) Would it be meaningful to cumulate the frequencies in either of these frequency distributions? (D) Using just one graph, construct bar graphs for all male graduates and for all female graduates. Hint: Alternate shaded and unshaded bars for males and females, respectively.
