  • One appropriate graph for a nominal variable (e.g., pie chart) and one appropriate graph for scale (quantitative) variable (e.g., histogram)

  • An Appendix containing the SPSS output (see the Week 2 Assignment Exemplar)

  • Correct APA formatting, including in-text citations and a separate References page where appropriate


Please Note:You will cut and paste the appropriate SPSS output into the Appendix.
