In Chapter 2, Exercise 2.4, I asked those with access to SPSS to go to the book’s website, find the short SPSS manual, and download the apgar. sav file. If you have SPSS but did not do that exercise, go back and read the manual to see how to download the file and then open it in SPSS. The introduction to that Web page describes the data. Read the first three chapters

(they are very short) and then read Chapter 4 on describing and graphing data. (That chapter is a bit longer, but most of that is taken up with graphics.) Recreate the frequency distributions and graphs that are shown there, varying the coarseness of the display.

Exercise 2.4

If you have access to SPSS, go to the website for this book https://www.uvm.edu/~dhowell/fundamentals9/
select the link for the short SPSS manual, and read the brief introduction. Download the “apgar.
sav” file referenced in that document and open it in SPSS. To download the file, left click on the file name in the third paragraph. That will open the file. Then right click on the page and select a location to store it. After you have done that, double click on the icon for that file and it will open in SPSS. What can you tell about the data? How would you describe the scale of measurement of the 10 variables given there?
