d. Calculate frequency distributions of the new variables and interpret the results. To interpret the results, run a frequency distribution of the original variable and compare and contrast it with the new frequency distribution of the new variable. Analyze the difference between these 2 frequency distributions along the dimensions of mean, standard deviation, range, kurtosis, and skewness. What do these differences mean? Before continuing with the steps below, watch Presentation: SP55 Recode into New Variables, found in the Reading & Study folder for Module Week 6. To recode, go to: Transform =>Recode into Different Variables => Select variable to recode => Select a Name and Label for the new variable => click Change => Old and New Values => Range Value Through Highest (= 5 for example) => New Value = 1 +> Add => then Range Value Through Lowest (= 6 for example) => New Value = 2 +> Add. For frequency distribution: Analyze => Descriptive Statistics => Frequencies => Select Variable =>Histogram and check Show Normal Curve on Histogram
