Create 2 new variables:

1. SBP_group:

< 110 = 0

111-120 = 1

121-170 = 2

Then label the above new variable as follows;

0 = normal

1 = risk

2 = HTN

2. Age_group
4. - 40 = 0
6. - 49 = 1

• 50 = 2

Then label the second variable as follows;

0 = young

1 = middle

2 = old

Section III

Conduct an analysis of frequencies and or descriptive statistics in SPSS as appropriate for all variables including the new ones that you created. While running the analysis in SPSS, request the mean and standard deviation as appropriate. When you complete these steps, answer the following questions:

2. What percentage of the sample had HTN?
4. What percentage of the sample where female?
6. What percentage of the sample were young, middle and old?
8. Where there any missing data?
10. What was the mean age and associated SD?
12. What was the mean SBP and associated SD?
14. Make a scatterplot using the Age and SBP variables, then offer a brief explanation of the relationship between these two variables as indicated in the scatterplot.
