PART B EXERCISES
B1. For these exercises, you will be using the SPSS dataset Polit2SetC to do multiple regression analyses to predict level of depression in the sample of low-income urban women. You will need to begin by dummy coding the variable race/ethnicity. First, create a frequency distribution for racethn (Analyze ➞ Descriptive Statistics ➞ Frequencies), then answer these questions: (a) What percentage of women in this sample was African American, Hispanic, and White or other? (b) Are there any women whose information for racethn is missing? (c) How many new variables need to be created so that race/ethnicity can be used in regression analyses? (d) Which category do you think should be omitted?
