Frequently Asked Questions
RESEARCH PAPER FOR SOCIAL STATISTICS
What should my paper include:
All papers should be 4-6 pages long not including your title page or your reference page.
How do I write my paper:
All papers should be written in 12-point and Times new roman or similar font.
What should my topic be:
Your topic is your choice. You can write about any topic that is included in the variables on SPSS program. Remember you need to choose two variables to compare when choosing your topic. For example: 
variable label: low income can’t afford more children
variable label: abortion if women want for any reason
Your problem statement: Women who are from a lower socioeconomic status have a higher rate of abortion than women from a higher socioeconomic status. 
How do I gather my findings, data, and tables:
Your findings, data and tables will all come from the SPSS PROGRAM. You will choose your variables and you will choose what procedures you will run to include in your paper. ( minimum of two tables included in paper)
Based on what we have learned in class please choose two of the following to include in your paper that is valid to your chosen variables.
1. Frequency table to include measures of central tendencies(mean, median, mode)
2. Frequency table to include measures of variability ( interquartile range, variance, standard deviation, range)
3. Confidence Interval
4. One-sample T test
5. Bivariate Cross tabulation tables

How many sources should I include in my paper:
You can use as many sources as you choose. However there needs to be a minimum of two research articles to support your topic. 

Graphing and Describing Data in Everyday Life
Discussion
Initial Post Instructions
Suppose that you have two sets of data to work with. The first set is a list of all the injuries that were seen in a clinic in a month’s time. The second set contains data on the number of minutes that each patient spent in the waiting room of a doctor’s office. You can make assumptions about other information or variables that are included in each data set.
For each data set, propose your idea of how best to represent the key information. To organize your data would you choose to use a frequency table, a cumulative frequency table, or a relative frequency table? Why?
What type of graph would you use to display the organized data from each frequency distribution? What would be shown on each of the axes for each graph?
Follow-Up Post Instructions
Respond to at least one peer. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification.
Consider how different distributions might affect the different graphs. How might other variables affect the graphs? How could graphs be made to be biased? If a graph were biased, how might you change it to guard against that bias?
Writing Requirements
Minimum of 2 posts (1 initial & 1 follow-up)
APA format for in-text citations and list of references

reply to this post below
Hello class and professor,
For each data set, propose your idea of how best to represent the key information. To organize your data would you choose to use a frequency table, a cumulative frequency table, or a relative frequency table? Why?
For the list of injuries seen in the clinic each day, a frequency table would be best to show the number of occurrences of each type of injury. This helps in identifying the most common injuries and their frequency over time. For the data on the number of minutes spent in the waiting room each day, a cumulative table could be useful to show the accumulation of waiting time over the course of the month. this could reveal trend in waiting times, such as peak hours or days with longer wait times. 
What type of graph would you use to display the organized data from each frequency distribution? What would be shown on each of the axes for each graph?
For the list of injuries seen in the clinic a bar graph would be suitable to display the frequency distribution. On the x-axis you would list the type of injuries and on the y-axis, you would plot you would plot the frequency or count of each injury type. For the data on the number of minutes spent in the waiting room, a histogram would be appropriate to display the frequency distribution. On the x-axis you would have bins representing ranges of waiting times and the y-axis you would plot the frequency or count of observations falling within each bin.

Initial Post: Choose one out of the 10 provided datasets and write a post that includes:
The name of the dataset.
A description of the x and y variables.
A trendline (regression line) graph of the data created in Excel or Desmos.
The equation and correlation coefficient.
A clear description of the trend of the association of the x and y variables by discussing the trend, shape, and strength.

Entire assignment must be APA formatted (see guides attached)

1.     
Overall, what did you think of the way the information was
presented?
(I liked it )
2.     
Which 3 slides did you think provided the best source of
information in an easy-to-read format?  Explain your answer.  
(Slides: 5,6,24)
3.     
Which 3 slides did the worst job of providing easy to use
visual information?  Why did you think this (i.e., too much on one slide,
tried to longitudinal for cross-sectional information, not enough on one slide,
partial picture of the scenario, etc.)?
(Slides: 7,8,20)
4.     
Based on the entire report (not just a couple slides), what
was the overall theme(s) that the researchers portrayed in the dossier and how
would you use this information as a potential investor? Put differently,
briefly tell us the lasting thought or impressions that stuck with you after
only reading through the charts and graphs a time or two.  Also, how would
this lasting impression or theme guide you as an investor, shareholder, or
executive for this company?

Please select your data set from https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/themes/world-health-statistics or any other website (citing the source) and as discussed in class you are required to set your own criteria for selection (smaller set of units/other criteria) and use descriptive statistics in excel. The criteria, data, and results (with explanation) are required to be submitted as a properly formatted word/pdf on or before the submission due date.

Within the Discussion Board area, write 400-600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
Suppose that a researcher wanted to use the secondary data found in the gss.sav data file to determine if males or females use the Internet more. Go to the Resources area of the class to download the files that you will need to complete your assignments each week. Open the gss.sav data set in SPSS to review the variables sex, useweb, and webhrs.
Use Variable View to consider whether the data are nominal, ordinal, or interval, and suggest which type of SPSS analysis might be most appropriate for these questions and why that would be the best choice. Please provide the output from SPSS and put in APA format.

Tables serve as a structured and organized way to present data, making it easier to comprehend and analyze (Siedlecki 2023). For the injuries seen in the clinic, a frequency table would be best. It would list each type of injury observed along with the frequency of occurrence. This table would show the types of injuries encountered and their respective frequencies. For the data on the number of minutes spent in the waiting room, a frequency table or a relative frequency table could be used. 
Injuries Seen in the Clinic:
A bar graph would be best to display the frequency distribution of injuries. The x-axis would represent the different types of injuries, while the y-axis would represent the frequency of each injury type.
Data 2- Number of Minutes Spent in the Waiting Room: For this data, a histogram would be best to display the frequency distribution of minutes spent in the waiting room. The x-axis would represent the range of minutes like 0-10, 11-20. The y-axis would represent the frequency of patients falling into each range
