Independent Project #3
20 Points
YOUR NAME: _________________________________
Due date: April 12, Sunday by midnight
After reading Chapters 6 & 7 in your textbook and notes posted under the “Modules”, please complete:
-
Construct a CROSSTABULATION with the variables COLLBING and RELIGION from the BINGE.SAV data file. (I am attaching the data set to the assignment area).
- Variable COLLBING will be a dependent variable (place it in the row), variable RELIGION will be an independent variable (place it in the column).
- Remember to request column percentages; do not request row and total percentages.
- Show your work (attach all tables).—copy table and paste it in the word doc.
Please use the following Data set for this project: binge1-1.sav
- Write a hypothesis about these two variables (COLLBING and RELIGION).
- What is the epsilon comparing binge drinking between respondents who think religion is a IMPORTANT ACTIVITY and those respondents who think religion is NOT AN IMPORTANT ACTIVITY?
- What percentage of respondents who report religion is SOMEWHAT IMPORTANT report NEVER BINGE DRINKING?
- Is your hypothesis supported or not supported by this bivariate analysis?
- Continuing to use the BINGE.SAV data file, recode AGE into a new age variable that distinguishes between:
– 21 years old and over and
– under 21 years old.
Crosstab this new age variable with COLLBING.
- What is the epsilon between underage binge drinkers and 21-year-old and over binge drinkers?
7. Which group is more likely to binge drink? Is this what you expected?
