What Statistical test on SPSS should I do for the following :

1. Is maternal race/ethnicity associated with low birth weight in their infants? (HINT: note level of data)
2. Is maternal age associated with low birth weight? What three things do you need to report for a correlation? Pearson Correlation. Tests for the strength of the association between two continuous variables
3. Is maternal smoking (number of daily cigarettes smoked) associated with low birth weight in their infants?

4) Is maternal smoking (number of daily cigarettes smoked) associated with systolic blood pressure?

In addition, the mothers are randomly assigned to receive a dietary intervention and/or a special exercise program. Use appropriate statistical analyses to answer the following questions.

1. What are the effects of diet and exercise on pounds lost?

Smoking Status: Average number of cigarettes smoked daily (zero for non-smokers)

Birth Weight of Infants = Grams of Weight

Diet: 0= No Change in Diet; 1= Experimental Diet

Exercise: 0= No Change in Exercise Routine; 1= Experimental Exercise
