Assignment: Introduction to Quantitative Analysis: Confidence Intervals In your Week 2 Assignment, you displayed data based on a categorical variable and continuous variable from a specific dataset. In Week 3, you used the same variables as in Week 2 to perform a descriptive analysis of the data. For this Assignment, you will calculate a confidence interval in SPSS for one of the variables from your Week 2 and Week 3 Assignments. To prepare for this Assignment: 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 Weeks 2 and 3 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 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. Based on the results of your data in this confidence interval Assignment, provide a brief explanation of what the implications for social change might be.
