For this Discussion, you will explore ways to appropriately display data.

Review the Learning Resources for this week related to frequency distributions and graphic displays of data.

• Using the SPSS software, open the General Social Survey dataset found in this week’s Learning Resources.
• Next, create a figure or table from a few selected variables within the dataset. 
• Finally, think about what is good about how the data are displayed in the figure or table you created and what is not so good.

Post your display of the table or figure you created and provide an explanation of why this would be the best way to display the data provided.

o prepare for this Discussion:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and media program related to regression and correlation.
• Review Magnusson’s web blog found in the Learning Resources to further your visualization and understanding of correlations between two variables.
• Construct a research question using the General Social Survey dataset, which can be answered by a Pearson correlation and bivariate regression.

Use SPSS to answer the research question. Post your response to the following:

1. What is your research question?
2. What is the null hypothesis for your question?
3. What research design would align with this question?
4. What dependent variable was used and how is it measured?
5. What independent variable is used and how is it measured? 
6. If you found significance, what is the strength of the effect?
7. Explain your results for a lay audience; explain the answer to your research question.
