Using data visualization to better determine which measures of central tendency and spread you should use.
Using the STATES10 data set:
- Generate measures of central tendency and spread. Report the measures of central tendency and spread, and provide a scatterplot for the following variables. If using SPSS, provide a box plot as well. For scatterplots, place STATEID on the X-Axis.
A. PCI_15 (Per Capita Income: 2015)
B. CRS63 (Prisoners under Sentence of Death: 2008)
C. HrtDRT17 (Heart Disease Mortality Rate: 2017)
For each of variables, report which measure of central tendency (pick 1) and spread (pick 1) do you think would work best based on the available information? - Using the GSS2018 dataset, what is the proper graph (scatterplot, histogram, bar chart)-make sure to provide it, and report what you think is the correct measure of central tendency. Why?
A. REALRINC (R's Income in constant $)
B. PARTNERS5 (How many sex partner's R has in last 5 year)
