Graphically represent the variables in the form of Histogram Chart.

Exercise 3
Twenty students have taken their common entrance test after their graduation. The selection
committee wants to see the relationship between the scores of CET and the percentage achieved in
graduation through correlation analysis.
Frame a hypothesis and show the type of relationship (positive or negative relationship) between
the variables.

Exercise 4

Twenty employees of different age group have taken their Exams for getting promotions in their
designation in the office. The appraisal committee wants to see the relationship between the scores
of Exam and the age through correlation analysis.
Frame a hypothesis and show the type of relationship (positive or negative relationship) between
the variables using correlation.
The appraisal committee also wants to calculate the Unit increase in the Exam score when there
is increase in age by applying regression. It also wants to predict the exam score of an employee
with the age of 21.

Exercise 5
Calculate the frequency distribution. Create a data file with the following variables.

Label for the variables

Age: 1(<20), 2(20-25), 3(25-30), 4(30-40), 5(>40)
Gender: 1(Male), 2(Female)
Education: 1- Higher school, 2- Graduate in Arts and Science degree, 3- Graduate in Professional
degree,
4- Post Graduate degree
Working Experience (Years): 1(<1year) 2(1-5years)
5(>20years)

3(5-10years)

4(10-20years)

Enter your own data set (minimum 25 data set) in the data view of SPSS then calculate the
Frequency distribution. Graphically represent the variables in the form of BAR chart.
Exercise 6
Calculate the frequency distribution. Create a data file with the following variables. Label for the
variables
Age: 1 (< 20), 2 (20-25), 3 (25-30), 4 (30-40), 5 (>40).
Marital Status: 1 (Single), 2(Married), 3(Widow), 4(Divorce)
Nature of Job : 1 Skilled , 2 Unskilled, 3 Semi Skilled
Income Level: 1 (< 10, 000), 2 (20,000-30,000), 3 (30,000 40,000), 4 (40,000 50,000), 5
(>50,000).
Enter your own data set (minimum 25 data set) in the data view of SPSS then Calculate the
frequency distribution. Graphically represent the variables in the form of Pie Chart and also find the
Cross Tabulation for Nature of Job and Income Level.

Exercise 7
A survey was taken among 25 students; the data collected was preparatory hour of the
student.Exam percentage of the Student. The Researcher was to see the direction of correlation
between the preparatory hours and exam percentage through correlation analysis. He also wants to
calculate the how much Exam percentage will increase when the preparatory time is increased by 1
hour. Apply regression to calculate the Unit increase.
