IBM SPSS Statistics Level 1 v2
1. Suppose you want to copy and paste variable definitions from 481
variables in one data file to 481 corresponding variables in a second data
file.
True or false: the only way to do this is to select and copy each variable's
definitions in the first file
and paste to the corresponding variable in the second file.: False
2. True or false: in the Variable View, if you have a series of variables that
share the same category coding scheme, you can enter value labels for
one variable, then copy these labels to the other variables.: True
3. There are two major types of errors one can make when attempting to draw
conclusions about the larger population based on the information
collected in the sample. For example, when performing an Independent
Samples T-Test, one type of error that can occur is when there are
significant differences between the groups based on a scale level
dependent variable, but the test fails to
detect them. Which of the following choices this sort of error? (Choose two.):
Type//error
False negative
4. If you build an expression manually, as opposed to using a function (e.g.,
specify (V1+V2)/2 instead of MEAN(V1,V2)), which statement is true?: If any
of the variables used in the expression has a missing value, the result for that
case is a system-missing value.
5. In the Aggregate data procedure, if you specify more than one Break
Variable,
________________ in the Break Variables list will determine case order.:
Variable order
6. What type of graph would you use to see the distribution of a scale
variable?: Histogram
7. IBM SPSS Statistics system variables can be:: used in data transformations
8. In order to access the New Custom Attribute feature in the Data Editor, the
Data Editor must be
viewed from the:: Variable View tab
9. When you read data stored in an Excel file via File...Open...Data, you may
need to specify which
options? (Choose three.): Read variable names from the first row of data
Read a Range of cells
1/4
