c) Generate a SPSS report on at least one graphical representation (e.g., bar chart, histogram, etc.) for EACH VARIABLE. For instructions on how to generate measures of Graphical representations via SPSS, you can follow the instructions on the following weblink (How to Use SPSS Frequency Distributions & Measures of Central Tendency [Video File]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ejAt1yPhLQ)

d) Copy and paste the SPSS report into your document.

In your written Case assignment, please respond to the following prompts:

1) Identify the variables you have chosen to analyze, and describe each of their scales of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio).

2) Describe what each graph tells you about each variable, referring to numbers from the frequency distributions/tables and graphs. Assess which type of graph (bar chart, histogram, pie chart) was the best graph for representing each variable, and what information can be obtained about each variable from corresponding graphs and the frequency distributions/tables. Is each graph misleading in any way? Explain.
