PSY 510 PSY510 Jose Sanchez SPSS assignment 6-2 – SNHU

Our textbook “Discovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics, 4thEdition” explains that we can calculate where the center of a frequency distribution lies using three measures commonly used: mode, median, and mean (Field, 2013). The mode is the score that occurs the most frequently in the data set; the median is the middle score when scores are ranked in order of magnitude; the mean is the measure of central tendency that is also known as the average score(Field, 2013). Here is a histogram of the Album Sales conducted on SPSS: On the X-axis there are Album Sales (in thousands) and on the Y-axis is the Frequency (among of times X sold in corresponding thousands).
