CCCC IBM SPSS Getting Horizon & Opening a Data Set Minilab Project Exercise Attached are some IBM SPSS questions, Need help answering these data. Also will need to email the .sav files as study pool won’t let me Graphing in SPSS
Utilizing AR_Sentencing.sav please answer the following questions. Please copy and paste your
answers (including the graphs) in this document
1. Some criminologist hypothesize there is a “trial penalty”. The trial penalty is where defendants
who insist on not pleading, but instead allowing their case to go to trial, will receive a higher
sentence. Use a boxplot to explore this hypothesis. Make sure to copy the boxplot into your
answer sheet and answer whether or not based on your data you find support for a “trial penalty”.
(Hint: What does the black line in the middle of the boxplot mean?).
2. Instead of a boxplot, utilize a bar chart to answer question 1.
3. If your boss came in today and asked you to present one of these graphs from either Question 1
or Question 2 to someone who knew nothing of statistics, which graph would you use, why?
4. Do individuals who committed a felon, on average, get a higher sentence then those who did not
commit a felony?
5. Is the variable measuring the sentence length approximately normal? (Hint: Histogram with
normal curve, does it look like the normal curve? Justify your answer with description.)
Minilab 1
Getting Horizon and Opening a Data Set
To successfully complete this class, you must have access to IBM SPSS or similar software.
UNCW provides access to IBM SPSS via Horizon. However, Horizon does not always work.
Therefore, to work around this fact, I would suggest utilizing a free trial period of IBM SPSS or
utilize PSPP. I utilize PSPP because my free trial of IBM SPSS is over and I cannot access
Horizon myself.
1. For this minilab, please download the software necessary to access the statistical software
you need to complete this class. The options are:
1. Horizon: https://uncw.edu/itsd/help/horizon.html
2. Free Trial of IBM SPSS: https://www.ibm.com/analytics/spss-trials
3. PSPP (Free): https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/get.html
2. Once you have the program downloaded, please open IBM SPSS (any version that will open
for you) or PSPP. Note: If you have issues getting access to Horizon, I cannot help you.
You must contact ITS.
3. Open the minilab01-data.sav file
4. Take a screenshot of the minilab open on your computer and upload that screenshot. If you
do not know how to take a screenshot please follow these directions:
