Using the Descriptive Statistics Data Set provided for this assignment, explore the data using measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, and measures of relative position. Then, report the data in a clear, organized Results section in accordance with the APA Manual.
Include the following descriptive statistics elements in your Results section:
1. The mean, standard deviation, variance, and range for perceived learning variable.
2. A histogram for the perceived learning variable with purple bars and normal curve displayed.
3. The means, medians, ranges, and interquartile ranges for perceived learning variable by gender.
4. The mean, standard deviation, and P10, P20, P30, P40 and P95 for community variable with the interpretation of the meaning of P95.

3. The means, medians, ranges, and interquartile ranges for perceived learning variable by gender.
4. The mean, standard deviation, and P10, P20, P30, P40 and P95 for community variable with the interpretation of the meaning of P95.
Additionally, to demonstrate your skills to manipulate data within SPSS, you will also submit a revised SPSS data set that demonstrates the following:
1. Categorization of the perceived learning variable into a new variable called "perceived" so that students who rated their learning 9 and below are classified as low and those who rated their learning 10 and above are classified as high. (Adjust the properties so that the data set displays low or high depending upon the assigned numerical value.)
2. The creation of a new variables named "z learn" transformed into z scores.
2. The creation of a new variables named "z learn" transformed into z scores.
Review the SPSS Descriptive Statistics Assignment Grading Rubric for grading details. Submit the first steps, 1 to 4, in a Word document and submit the second set of sets, 1?2, in an SPSS file (.sav) by Sunday of Module/Week 2.
