SPSS ASSIGNMENT # 3

Computing z-Scores Using SPSS

Using the data below:

1. D etermine the z-score that corres ponds to each teacher’s sa lary and enter them in the table below. (Follow the steps on the second page).
   The following data are from a survey of high school teachers.

   SALARY	SEX	ZSALARY
   35,000	Male
   18,000	Female
   20,000	Male
   50,000	Female
   38,000	Male
   20,000	Female
   75,000	Male
   40,000	Female
   30,000	Male
   22,000	Female
   23,000	Male
   45,000	Female

   
   Follow the instructions below . For salary be sure to use "scale" for measure (and you will be entering the actual number so no need for values); sex is a nominal variable (Male= 1, Female=2).
   In SPSS, we compute z-scores via the Descriptives command.
   After you enter the data above, click Analyze , then Descriptive Statistics , then Descriptives – this will take you to the dialog box for descriptives .
   In the bottom-left corner you will see a check box labeled " Save standardized values as variables " , check this box and move the variable SALARY into the right-hand blank. Then click OK to complete the analysis. You will see the standard output from the Descriptives command. Notice that the z-scores are not listed. SPSS inserts them into the data window as a new variable (ZSALARY). Copy and paste your results to this document.
2. Write a brief (but thorough) analysis of what these z-scores say about each teacher’s salary.
