Problem #1 (10 points)

For this problem, you will need to use the following SPSS DATASET: GENERAL SURVEY ON SOCIAL CONTROLS AND DRUGS: UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.SAV (this dataset can be downloaded from D2L course website for this course). Use this dataset to determine if there is a difference between males and females (v35) in terms of "how important it is to participate in parties?" (v10) (an ordinal variable). Which of the following tests would be appropriate to conduct this analysis: Kruskal-Wallis One-Way ANOVA or Mann-Whitney U? Choose the correct test, and run the appropriate analysis. After you have generated the statistical output, interpret the output. Your interpretation should include: the stated null and research hypotheses, a statement as to whether or not you could reject the null hypothesis, a statement that clarifies why you either rejected or failed to reject the null hypothesis, and an answer to the initial question: did males and females differ on this dependent variable and, if they did, how did they differ?

2. a statement as to whether or not you could reject the null hypothesis
3. a statement that clarifies why you either rejected or failed to reject the null hypothesis
4. an answer to the initial question: did males and females differ on this dependent variable and, if they did, how did they differ?

Problem #2 (10 points)

For this problem, you will need to use the following SPSS DATASET: GENERAL SURVEY ON SOCIAL CONTROLS AND DRUGS: UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.SAV (this dataset can be downloaded from D2L course website for this course). Use this dataset to determine if there is a difference in the level of marijuana use (an ordinal variable) (v109) between different student classes (years of college completed: v37). Which of the following tests would be appropriate to conduct this analysis: Kruskal-Wallis One-Way ANOVA or Mann-Whitney U? Choose the correct test, and run the appropriate analysis. After you have generated the statistical output, interpret the output. Your interpretation should include: the stated null and research hypotheses, a statement as to whether or not you could reject the null hypothesis, a statement that clarifies why you either rejected or failed to reject the null hypothesis, and an answer to the initial question: is there a difference in the level of marijuana use between different student classes? If they did differ, how did they differ?

Problem #3 (10 points)

For this problem, you will need to use the following SPSS DATASET: GENERAL SURVEY ON SOCIAL CONTROLS AND DRUGS: UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.SAV (this dataset can be downloaded from D2L course website for this course). Use this dataset to determine if there is an association between SEX (v35) (males versus females) and membership in a fraternity or sorority (v12). Essentially, we want to know if males or females are more likely to join a fraternity or sorority. To determine this, set up a crosstabulation between these two variables and, as part of this analysis, program SPSS to calculate ONLY the correct percentages for interpretation, and a two-way chi-square analysis. After you have generated the statistical output, interpret the output. Your interpretation should include: the stated null and research hypotheses, a statement as to whether or not you could reject the null hypothesis, a statement that clarifies why you either rejected or failed to reject the null hypothesis, and an answer to the initial question: is there a statistically significant difference between men and women in terms of membership in a fraternity or sorority? If so, how did they differ?
