In this week's Discussion, you determined the benefits of visually displaying your data. You also learned that different types of data require different visual displays to adequately "tell the story" of the phenomena. Although the Discussion was difficult, what is even more difficult and challenging will be deciding on how best to display the data for presentation purposes. As you move further along in your dissertation or doctoral study, you will find that displaying data will be critical component in presenting a robust and clear capstone project.

ThisIntroduction to Quantitative AnalysisAssignment is composed of three different parts. You will complete each part in Weeks 2, 3, and 4. You will submit the entire Assignment in Week 4. For this week, you will explore how to visually display data for optimal use.

Part 1: Displaying the Data

To prepare for this Part 1 of the Assignment:

• Review this week's Learning Resources and consider visual displays of data as well as displaying data in presentations.
• Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in this week's Learning Resources.
• From the dataset you chose, choose one categorical and one continuous variable and perform the appropriate visual display for each variable.
• Once you visually display each variable, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

For this Part 1 Assignment:

Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your results and include a copy and paste of the appropriate visual display of the data into your document.

Use appropriate APA format. Refer to the APA manual for appropriate citation.

Part 2

To prepare for this Part 2 of your Assignment:

• Review this week's Learning Resources and theCentral Tendency and Variabilitymedia program.
• Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset from your Part 1 of your Assignment in Week 2.
• Choose the same two variables you chose from your Part 1 Assignment and perform the appropriate descriptive analysis of the data.
• Once you perform your descriptive analysis, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

For this Part 2 Assignment:

Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your descriptive analysis results and include a copy and paste your output from your analysis into your final document.

• Review the Learning Resources related to probability, sampling distributions, and confidence intervals.
• Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you chose) from Week 2.
• Choose an appropriate variable from Parts 1 and 2 of this Assignment and calculate a confidence interval in SPSS.
• Once you perform your confidence interval, review Chapter 5 and 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

For this Part 3 Assignment:

Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your results and include a copy and paste of the appropriate visual display of the data into your document.

Use appropriate APA format. Refer to the APA manual for appropriate citation.

Then, for your Final Assignment Submission of Parts 1, 2, and 3:

Based on the results of your data in Parts 1, 2, and 3 of this Assignment, provide a brief explanation of what the implications for social change might be.

Use appropriate APA format. Refer to the APA manual for appropriate citation.
