1. Indicate the conditional expression which you use to select cases.
2. Run SPSS to obtain the statistics and a graph (bar charts, pie charts, histograms, tables, etc.) for each question.
3. State your findings (only the salient points of the data) in words.
2. What are the ages when first married of the male respondents? (25 points)
1. Indicate the conditional expression which you use to select cases.
2. Run SPSS to obtain the statistics and a graph (bar charts, pie charts, histograms, tables, etc.) for each question.
3. State your findings (only the salient points of the data) in words.
The solution is shown below:
I have taken the following assumptions while solving the question...

let us consider a sample collection as shown below...
In SPSS, follow the following path:
Then select Pie chart, Bar Diagram etc under the 'Charts' tab...
Here Pie Chart is the best fit for the question...
The solution is discussed below...
The Pie Charts are shown below...
Analysis: The above Pie Chart describes the respective percentage of the populations under the Married Age group.
Analysis: The above Pie Chart describes the respective percentage of the populations under the Educational Qualification group.
Analysis: The above Pie Chart describes the respective percentage of the populations under the Gender group.
