Lab assignments should be typed and professionally presented. Report results in your own words. Do not paste or attach SPSS output. Unrequested SPSS output will lower your grade. In order to answer this lab you will be using the crime data file on BlackBoard.

1. We want to determine whether education (educ) -coded as 0=No HS diploma 1=HS diploma or more- has an effect on whether a respondent has substantial drug consumption (druguse) - coded as 0=No 1=Yes- or not.

1. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
2. Run a Chi-Square test, including the corresponding nonparametric test of association

(hint: to decide which test to association to select first determine the level of measurement of your variables (nominal x nominal, ordinal x ordinal, nominal x ordinal) and then determine the size of the table (2x2, 3x2, 2x3, etc.).

Report:

1. Paste the Bar Chart displaying the distribution of the dependent variable given the independent variable.
2. Is there a significant relationship between education and substantial drug consumption? Write a paragraph reporting the corresponding statistics.
3. If there is a significant relationship between the two variables, how strong is this relationship? Write a paragraph reporting the corresponding statistics.
4. Write a short paragraph reporting the most salient percentages from the cross - tabulation.
   c. Write a paragraph interpreting your results (i.e., why are we getting these results? Come up with a short theory to explain the findings).
   2. We want to determine whether there is a relationship between monthly legitimate income (leg $) and monthly criminal income (crim$).
   1. State null and alternative hypotheses.
   2. Run and paste a scatterplot displaying the relationship between the 2 variables, including the best-fitting line. (Use legitimate income as your independent variable (x) and criminal income as your dependent variable (y)).
   3. Run a Pearson’s r between the two variables:

1. Is there a significant relationship between legitimate and criminal income? Write a couple of sentences reporting relevant statistics.
2. What are the direction and strength of the relationship? Write a couple of sentences.
3. What percentage of the variance of criminal income is explained by legitimate income? Write a sentence reporting relevant statistics.
4. In a paragraph, provide an interpretation for these results (i.e. why do you think we found what we found?)
   3. We wanted to determine whether there would be a difference in the average number of residences during the last year free among people with different racial backgrounds:
   a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
   We run a One-way ANOVA to test this research question. The following are the results:
   
   
   
   b. Is the equality of variances assumptions met? Write a couple of sentences reporting relevant statistics.
   c. Is there a significant difference between at least two racial groups in the number of residences during the last year free? Write a couple of sentences reporting relevant statistics.
   d. If such a difference exists, between which groups? Write a couple of sentences reporting relevant statistics.
5. In a paragraph, provide an interpretation for these results (i.e. why do you think we found what we found?)
