1SOC5QSR QUANTITATIVE SKILLS FOR SOCIAL RESEARCHPart 1The first variable considered here is State. The variable indicates in which state theindividual resides in. For the variables how many years of education and age, mean is the mostappropriate measure of central tendency. This measure gives the average number of years ofeducation and the average age of the individuals. The variable State is a categorical variable.Thus, no measure of descriptive statistics can be appropriate in measuring this variable.Most people have studied for 10 years, 12 years and 15 years. Most of the people arefrom New South Wales and most of the people fall in the age group of 51-60 years. These datacan be clearly visible from the histograms given below. The variables in this part are all discretevariables. The grouping of ages is also taken in such a way that it is a discrete variable. Thus, thedata can be represented most appropriately by a bar graph. Bar graph is the most appropriatechart to represent discrete data.
