SPSS Exercises 2: Univariate Analyes
Review the four levels of variable measurement presented in Chapter 5.
Using the textbook, define nominal measure.
Using the textbook, define ordinal measure.
Using the textbook, define interval measure.”
Using the textbook, define ratio measure.
Access the National Crime Victimization Survey dataset in the SPSS folder in Engage. Go back to the variable that indicates the relationship between the victim and the offender from SPSS Exercises 1.
a. At which level is this variable measured?
b. Run a frequency distribution of this variable), requesting the mode, median, and mean. Interpret the frequency distribution to state by whom we are most likely to be attacked according to this frequency distribution.
c. Remember to include the relevant SPSS output directly below your text answer.
6. Access the youth.sav dataset in the SPSS folder in Engage.
a. At which level is the variable V63 measured?
b. Run a frequency distribution for the variable V63, which provides information on how often respondents parents know where they are when they are away from home using the following response options: 1 = never, 2 = sometimes, 3 = usually, and 4 = always. Again, request the mode, median, and mean when you obtain the frequency distribution. Interpret the frequency distribution to state parents average knowledge of the whereabouts of their children from this sample.
c. Remember to include the relevant SPSS output directly below your text answer.
7. 7. Access the homicide.sav dataset in the SPSS folder in Engage.
a. At which level is the variable PRITIME measured?
b. Run a frequency distribution for the variable PRITIME, which indicates length of prison sentence. Again, request the mode, median, and mean when you obtain the frequency distribution. Interpret the frequency distribution to state the average length of prison sentences for homicide defendants.
The level of variable measurement dictates how to summarize the SPSS output. This chart can help you determine choose the summarize the frequency distribution according to the level at which these variables are measures:
Level of Variable Measurement
Appropriate Measure of Central Tendency to Report
Appropriate Univariate Statistic to Report
Nominal
Mode
Modal category from the statistics table/frequency table
Valid percent associated with mode from the frequency table
Ordinal
Median
Median category from the statistics table/frequency table
Cumulative percent associated with the median from the frequency table
Interval
Mean*
Mean value from the statistics table
Ratio
Mean*
Mean value from the statistics table
*For skewed data, it is appropriate to report the median instead of the mean. For the purposes of this course, we can assume that the data are not skewed.
Here are some examples using the homicide.sav dataset of how to word responses involving univariate statistics in SPSS:
· The variable death is measured at the nominal level.
· The average sentence is no/other sentence (78.3%).
· The variable prconv is measured at the ordinal level.
· The average number of prior convictions is zero (66.9%).
· The variable dage is measured at the ratio level.
· The average age of homicide defendants is 29.23.
For the variable death, required SPSS output looks like this:
FREQUENCIES VARIABLES=death
/STATISTICS=MEAN MEDIAN MODE
/ORDER=ANALYSIS.

Have you ever participated in any AgriTourism project or event (there are MANY described in the video to use as examples – e.g., maybe you “U-picked strawberries”)? Briefly describe your experience. Pick your favorite if you have participated in more than one.
The below link will take you on a whirlwind, 12 minute, global tour of AgriTourism, courtesy of Dr. Hayley Stainton.
In our fifth chapter, we discussed the importance of Design of Goods and Services, including a proper focus on Sustainability.
Please watch this video (link below) and answer the following questions:
1. Have you ever participated in any AgriTourism project or event (there are MANY described in the video to use as examples – e.g., maybe you “U-picked strawberries”)? Briefly describe your experience. Pick your favorite if you have participated in more than one.
2. Bill Gates has now become the largest individual farmland owner in the United States. He owns 270,000 acres (about 1/3 the size of Rhode Island) in 18 different states. Some speculate he is trying to take over farming, but according to Gates himself, it is an investment (he buys the land and turns around and leases it back to the farmers, basically making him a landlord). Many refer to this as going from Small Farming (average farm in the U.S. is 445 acres) to Corporate Farming. In defense, others such as “King Ranch” (825,000 acres in Texas), Ted Turner (2.2 million acres – not all farmland), and the Resnick family (190,000 acres), would also have to be considered “Corporate Farms”.
a. Share your perspective on why you do (or don’t) think AgriTourism is an important opportunity for farming (e.g., does AgriTourism aid sustainability?)
b. Also, what do you think about farming being primarily “small businesses” versus being large corporate businesses? Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of each.
