Be certain to include in your discussion what your dependent variable(s) and independent variable(s) are, as well as the level of measurement of each! Question 2- 2a. Using the available SPSS dataset titled “ArchivedData.sav” found under the Presentation section of Module 1, perform a Chi-Square for Goodness of Fit test on any nominal data (Please note that you will continue to use the ArchivedData.sav dataset throughout the rest of the course). Please review the background materials to understand the steps of conducting a Chi-square test via SPSS. 2b. Copy and paste your SPSS results into the discussion board window. 2c. Describe results for a Chi-Square for Goodness of Fit test based upon your statistical analysis.
