Analyzing the number of lung cancer deaths

Here we will indicate the variable data types, create frequency
tables and come up with tables to show the level of deaths as a
results of lung cancer.

Task
The dataset you are using for this assignment has information on
lung cancer deaths by age and smoking status
(BST571_GradedAssignment1_Data). The data is already an SPSS
dataset, so just double-click on the data, and it will open in SPSS.

Codebook for the data:

1. Fill out the table below, indicating the variable type for each
variable in the dataset (nominal, ordinal, or numerical):

2. Use SPSS to create frequency tables of agegrp and smoking.

From the frequency tables, answer the following:

a. What percentage of patients were aged 60

– 69 years old?
Ans: 36.11%
 b. What percentage of patients smoke?
Ans: 25%

C. How many patients are 70 years

old or older?
Ans: 19.44%

3. Use SPSS to create descriptive tables of pop and deaths. From

the descriptive tables, answer the following:
