DUE 9/10/17 11 A.MEST KNOW BIOSTATS BE ON TIME, DONT ASK IF YOU’RE NOT SURE You will create and analyze frequency distributions and summary statistics of data provided as a Microsoft Excel file. Import the data into SPSS. Then run frequency distribution graphs and tables and calculate summary statistics in SPSS as instructed below. : It is recommended that you save the SPSS data file. Type your answers to all questions and paste all required output directly into the worksheet at the end of this document. ——————————————————————————————————————— Research Scenario A study was conducted to determine if a walking plus strength training exercise program results in a significantly greater increase in aerobic capacity as compared to a walking only exercise program. Participants are randomly selected and then randomly assigned to one of the exercise groups. Participants’ aerobic endurance was assessed at the beginning of the study and, again, after 6-months of exercise. Coding for study variables: · AGE—age in years · SEX—1 =male, 2=female · EXERCISE—1= walking and strength training; 2 = walking; · CHNG_ENDUR—change in maximal oxygen uptake (liters per minute) from pre-test to post-test ——————————————————————————————————————— : Save all of your SPSS output. You will paste copies of in Step 11. Review this week’s Learning Resources. Import the Microsoft Excel data file provided in this week’s learning resources into SPSS. Run and save the Codebook for your SPSS data file. Create an ungrouped frequency distribution table for each of the following: AGE, SEX, EXERCISE, and CHNG_ENDUR. Run descriptive/summary statistics (mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and range) for both exercise types combined for AGE and CHNG_ENDUR. SPLIT the data file by exercise type (EXERCISE). Create a line graph that illustrates CHNG_ENDUR for each exercise type separately. Create pie charts for SEX for each exercise type group. Run descriptive/summary statistics (mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and range) for AGE and CHNG_ENDUR. Review all of your SPSS output and answer each of the following questions: Score (to be   entered by

instructor) 1. How many participants were   female? / 1 point 2. How many participants were aged 40–49 years? / 1 points 3. What percent of participants were 39 years old or younger? / 1 points 4. How many participants had 5 liter/min. increase in their maximal   oxygen uptake? / 1 points 5. How many participants had 7 liter/min. increase in their   maximal oxygen uptake? / 1 points For exercise types 1 and 2 combined: 6. What is the mean for AGE? / 1 points 7. What is the median for   AGE? / 1 points 8. What is the standard   deviation for AGE? / 1 points 9. What is the mean for   CHANGE_ENDUR? / 1points 10. What is the median for CHANGE_ ENDUR? / 1 points 11. What is the range for CHANGE_ ENDUR? / 1 points 12. What is the standard deviation for CHANGE_ ENDUR? /1 points For exercise type 1 (walking and strength   training): 13. What is the mean for   CHANGE_ ENDUR? / 1 points 14. What is the median for   CHANGE_ ENDUR? / 1 points 15. What is the standard   deviation for CHANGE_ ENDUR? / 1 points For exercise type 2 (walking only): 16. What is the mean for   CHANGE_ ENDUR? / 1 points 17. What is the median for   CHANGE_ ENDUR? /1 points 18. What is the standard   deviation for CHANGE_ ENDUR? /1 points Paste all required output below. A. Output—SPSS Codebook B. Output—all ungrouped frequency distribution tables: C. Output—descriptive/summary statistics for both exercise groups combined: D. Output—line graphs for CHNG_ENDUR for each exercise group separately: E. Output—pie charts for SEX for each exercise group separately: F. Output—descriptive/summary statistics for each exercise group separately: 18   questions (worth 1 points each) ____ / 18 points possible Six   SPSS outputs (2 points each for each of the following): A. Output—SPSS Codebook B. Output—all ungrouped frequency distribution   tables: C. Output—descriptive/summary statistics for both   exercise groups combined: D. Output—line graphs for CHNG_ENDUR for each   exercise group separately: E. Output—pie charts for SEX for each exercise group   separately: F. Output—descriptive/summary statistics for each   exercise group separately: ____ / 12 points possible
