Prior to a training, those who enrolled were given a pretest to determine their baseline knowledge of the subject. Those who scored 75 or higher on a pretest will be issued a pass and will be excused from the training session.

Data set: Ch 10 - Exercise 05.sav (this is the same data set as Ch 10 - Exercise 01.sav) Codebook Variable: name Definition: The participant’s name Type: Alphanumeric Variable: score Definition: The participant’s pretest score Type: Continuous Variable: skill Definition: The participant’s skill level, based on their score Type: Categorical (1 = Novice, 2 = Intermediate, 3 = Expert) 1. Use the Recode function to create a new variable result (based on score) that identifies those who passed and those who failed; use the following codebook to assign the categorical value labels for result. Variable: result Definition: The participant’s result on their score Type: Categorical (1 = Fail [under 70], 2 = Pass [70 or over])

1. Run descriptive statistics on score with a histogram and normal curve for those who failed. HINT: Use result to guide the Select Cases process.
