LAB 3/Graded 1-

Please provide a simple frequency distributions for the following two data sets using computer; one on test sores and a another on bowling scores..  Provide me with a hardcopy of the program file  for traditional SAS and
 the output file.  Just print the output file for SPSS.  It is due  January 18 (beginning of class). 
 

 Please provide typed answers. Write in complete sentences.
 Please perform a traditional SAS and SPSS computer analysis.

You may find it helpful to produce a vertical bar chart.  The following SAS statement
below will generate a vertical bar chart for traditional SAS.

Proc Chart Data=data set name; 
VBAR variable-list/LEVELS= 10;
Run;

The option LEVELS=10 is an instruction to group heights so that there will
be ten equally spaced intervals for the variable.  You can play with other
number of groupings.  If  you leave out any options when we are charting a
continuous variable, PROC CHART will use its own grouping algorithm to
select the number of level and midpoints for the plot.

***two procedures can be performed on the same run on Traditional SAS ***

a.   Describe each distribution that you produced  in your own words informed by the text?   What's its shape only three possiblities positive skew, negative skew, normal.
     (CHAPTER 2, especially page 32-35 edition 7 , pages 34-36 edition 9, pages 34-36  edition 10 can help).   

b.  What are the names of the variables being measured?

c.   What "scale" are the variables measured? Why?

d.   Are the variables quantitative or qualitative? Why?
