Open demo.savin SPSS. using two variables: CAPPUN and GUNLAW.

Because CAPPUN is coded backwards (1=not liberal, 2=liberal) compared to GUNLAW (1=liberal, 2=not liberal), you will need to begin this exercise by recoding CAPPUN so that 1=oppose and 2=favor. Retain the missing values as missing.

Next, create an index counting the liberal scores (1) using GUNLAW and your recoded variable for CAPPUN. Be sure to define the missing on the variables, and be sure to tell SPSS not to count the missings using your "if" interface.

Finally, run a frequency on your newly created index, and answer the following questions:

How many respondents were completely not liberal (index = 0)?
