Instructions: The Chi Square test is used to determine if there is a significant association in the frequencies among different variables. Work through the tutorial below. You will turn in a similar assignment for a grade using this tutorial and write-up as a guide.
Scenario: The school nurse is tasked with making an intervention to target e-cigarette use at the high school she works. To make the intervention as customized as possible, she wants to know if more males or females use an e-cigarette product. She hands out an anonymous survey to one of the gym classes and receives the following data. Run a Chi Square analysis in SPSS to determine if there was a significant difference in the number of male or females who use e-cigarette products.
To begin, use the data in the following table. Unlike the previous analysis, you cannot copy and paste this data into SPSS. See steps below to set up your data sheet.
