1-2 Exercise: Identify Dispersion in a Variable
Below
are the raw frequencies for two ordinal variables: a measure of individuals’
levels of social trust (part A), and a measure of opinions about a requirement
that would regulate automobile manufacturers (part B). The social trust
variable, which is based on the extent to which individuals think that people
can be trusted, has four values: low, medium-low, medium-high, and high trust.
The automobile manufacturers’ variable is based on how strongly respondents
favor or oppose requiring car manufacturers to make cars and trucks that use
less gasoline. This variable is coded by five values: strongly favor
requirement, favor, neither favor nor oppose, oppose, or strongly oppose such a
requirement.14
For each
variable: (i) Construct a frequency distribution, including frequencies,
percentages, and cumulative percentages. (ii) Sketch a bar chart. (iii)
Identify the mode. (iv) Identify the median. (v) State whether the variable has
high dispersion or low dispersion. (vi) Explain how you know.
A. Raw
frequencies for the social trust variable: low trust, 437; medium-low, 334;
medium-high, 264; high trust, 273.
B. Raw
frequencies for the car manufacturer variable: strongly favor requirement, 645;
favor, 197; neither favor nor oppose, 52; oppose, 14; strongly oppose, 9.
