Using SPSS (if applicable), answer the following question and detail the exact steps you took in SPSS to get your answer.

The following data is based on a study of a vulnerable patient population (Cerebral Palsy). The population has a compromised bone structure that may increase the risk of fracture. The strength of the bones is measured using a Z score corresponding to the bones mineral density which is based on the patients reference cohort (gender and age). A Z score of -5.9 for example indicates that the patients bone mineral density (BMD) is 5.9 standard deviations below the reference of a non-vulnerable cohort. We would expect that patient to be at significant risk of fracture because their bones are so weak. What is the relative risk of fracture for those with a Z score of -1.8 or worse compared to those above that threshold?
