Walden University Confidence Interval of Trust in Government Index Discussion

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Review the Learning Resources related to probability, sampling distributions, and confidence intervals.
• For additional support, review the Skill Builder: Confidence Intervals and the Skill Builder: Sampling Distributions, which you can find by navigating back to your Blackboard Course Home Page. From there, locate the Skill Builder link in the left navigation pane.
• Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you chose) from Week 2.
• Choose an appropriate variable from Weeks 2 and 3 and calculate a confidence interval in SPSS.
• Once you perform your confidence interval, review Chapter 5 and 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

For this Assignment:

Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your results and include a copy and paste of the appropriate visual display of the data into your document. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES.

Based on the results of your data in this confidence interval Assignment, provide a brief explanation of what the implications for social change might be.SPSS Assignment

This week you will compute Confidence Intervals, you should usean appropriatevariable from theSAME 2 variables you used in Week 3from the same data set, either the Afrobarometer or HSLS data set. To clarify, you will select only one of the two variables you used in Week 3. Think about the measurement level of your variable, make sure it is appropriate to compute a confidence interval for that level of measurement. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean of that variable.

**Unlike the discussion, you will use all of the cases in the assignment; Do Not take a random sample. This should make it easier!**

Include the SPSS output for your confidence interval in the paper. Be sure to include a figure caption in APA format for your output. Write aone paragraphsummary of the results of the confidence interval. This will be very brief.

Write a final, single, paragraph that explains the implications for social change.
