Sampling in SPSS Lab

The purpose of this activity is to introduce you to drawing samples within a dataset as a way to show how different samples can reflect different patterns from one another and from the entire dataset.

• Activity:
  • Download the lab data
  • Once the dataset is opened in SPSS, run descriptive statistics for HS_GPA and Age. Make sure to include mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum. Make sure to record these values. **Note: if you use the Frequencies command, know that the full frequency table is not needed, just the descriptive statistics.
  • Using the Select Cases function demonstrated in the video above, draw a random sample of approximately 10% of all cases.
  • Re-run the descriptive statistics for HS_GPA and Age for this sample and record the values.
  • Draw 4 more samples using the Select Cases method, run the same descriptive statistics for each sample, and record the values.
  • What do you notice about the descriptive statistics for each sample? Are they similar? Different? Explain.

  **Note: Make sure to put your work into 1 single Word document that you will submit for this assignment. Include your answers to the questions AND the SPSS output in the Word document that you submit.
