Create a frequency distribution, including any appropriate measures of central tendency, for HOMOSEX.
a. Which measure of central tendency, mean or median, is most appropriate to summarize the distribution of HOMOSEX? Explain why.
b. Suppose we are interested in whether or not males and females have the same attitudes about homosexual relations. Create a frequency distribution, including any appropriate measures of central tendency, for HOMOSEX, this time separating results for men and women. (Use the Data-Split File command by clicking on Data, Split File, Organize Output by Groups, insert the variable SEX into the box labeled "Groups Based on" and click OK. Are there any differences in their measures of central tendency? Explain. (Remember, once you have completed this exercise, reset the Split File command to include all cases by clicking on Data, Split File, Analyze All Cases, Do Not Create Groups.)
c. Repeat (b), this time using PREMARSX (acceptance of premarital sex) as your variable.
