I need help :( This is the hardest class I've ever been in.
Its called Research Methods & Analysis. Supposedly its easy, all we have to do is look at statistics and trends and stuff. But I find it to be murderously complex.
The problem is I have no idea how to use this stupid software - Aca Stat
Heres what I'm supposed to do:
1) Use AcaStat to report the appropriate measure of central tendency and the appropriate measure of variability for each of the six variables in your datafile. You must submit a “hard” or printed copy of your AcaStat results.
For nominal and ordinal variables, use the.>frequencies< procedure from the >Statistics< menu.
For interval/ratio variables, use the >descriptive< procedure from the >Statistics< menu
I know what nominal, ordinal, and interval/ratio varibables are, I just have no clue what this "Statistics menu" crap is.
Anyone?? :confused: Please
One other thing, how do I graph something??
