This week, you explore key statistical concepts related to data and problem solving through the completion of the following exercises using SPSS and the information found in your textbook. The focus of this assignment is to become familiar with the SPSS data analysis software and to develop an understanding of how to calculate descriptive statistics and make conclusions based on those calculations. As you formulate your responses, keep in mind that descriptive statistics only allow you to make conclusions and recommendations for the sample at handnot for the larger population to which that sample may belong.
