‭Investigators‬‭conducted‬‭a‬‭study‬‭to‬‭evaluate‬‭the‬‭use‬‭of‬‭a‬‭screening‬‭test‬‭of‬‭specific‬‭hormones‬‭in‬‭the‬‭blood‬‭to‬
‭assess‬ ‭whether‬ ‭or‬ ‭not‬ ‭the‬ ‭fetus‬ ‭of‬ ‭a‬ ‭pregnant‬ ‭women‬ ‭is‬ ‭likely‬ ‭to‬ ‭have‬ ‭Down‬ ‭syndrome. ‬ ‭10000‬‭pregnant‬
‭women‬ ‭underwent‬ ‭the‬ ‭screening‬ ‭test‬ ‭and‬ ‭scored‬ ‭either‬ ‭positive‬ ‭or‬ ‭negative‬ ‭depending‬ ‭on‬ ‭the‬ ‭levels‬ ‭of‬
‭hormones‬‭in‬‭the‬‭blood.‬‭There‬‭were‬‭1255‬‭women‬‭with‬‭positive‬‭test;‬‭from‬‭them,‬‭285‬‭women‬‭had‬‭an‬‭affected‬

‭(1 point extra for each output – 1, 2, 3)‬
‭This week we are going to learn how to recode data into the same variable and how to record data into a‬
‭different variables. This is a very helpful tool in SPSS.‬

‭1.‬ R
‭ ecoding data into single values‬
‭The first data set represents runs scored by 5 baseball players in a national tournament. We want to‬
‭recode this data so that the players are rank ordered by their number of runs, with the player with the‬
‭highest runs given a code of “1” and the player with the lowest score given a 5.‬
‭a.‬ ‭Enter the following data in SPSS: # of runs by players‬
‭b.‬ ‭Recode the data so that the players are rank ordered by their number of runs, with the player‬
‭with the highest runs given a code of "1" and the batsman with the lowest runs given a "5".‬
‭c.‬ ‭Run frequencies of the new created variable.‬
‭2.‬ R
‭ ecoding data into a given range of values‬
‭The second data set represents the scores of 10 MPH students in their final biostatistics exam. We‬
‭want to recode the data giving a code of 1 to scores between 75 - 100, code 2 to scores between 61 -‬
‭75, code 3 to scores between 41 - 60 and code 4 to scores between 0 - 40.‬
‭a.‬ ‭Enter the following data in SPSS‬
‭b.‬ ‭Recode the data giving code "1" to scores between 75 - 100, code 2 to scores between 61 -‬
‭75, code 3 to scores between 41 - 60 and code 4 to scores between 0 – 40‬
‭c.‬ ‭Run frequencies of the new created variable.‬

‭3.‬ R
‭ ecoding data into two categories‬
‭The‬ ‭third‬ ‭dataset‬ ‭represents‬ ‭12‬ ‭patient‬ ‭satisfaction‬ ‭scores‬ ‭for‬ ‭a‬ ‭dental‬ ‭provider.‬ ‭The‬ ‭satisfaction‬
‭scores‬ ‭goes‬ ‭from‬ ‭1‬ ‭to‬ ‭10‬ ‭with‬ ‭10‬ ‭being‬ ‭extremely‬ ‭satisfied‬ ‭and‬ ‭1‬ ‭extremely‬ ‭dissatisfied.‬ ‭The‬
‭provider‬‭wants‬‭to‬‭code‬‭all‬‭those‬‭who‬‭responded‬‭by‬‭giving‬‭ratings‬‭above‬‭5‬‭a‬‭"Satisfactory"‬‭code‬‭and‬
‭those below 5 a "Dissatisfactory" code.‬
‭a.‬ ‭Enter the data in SPSS‬
‭b.‬ ‭Recode‬ ‭the‬ ‭data‬ ‭so‬ ‭that‬ ‭all‬ ‭those‬ ‭who‬ ‭responded‬ ‭by‬ ‭giving‬ ‭ratings‬ ‭above‬ ‭5‬ ‭have‬ ‭a‬
‭"Satisfactory" code and those below 5 have a "Dissatisfactory" code‬
‭c.‬ ‭Run frequencies of the new created variable‬
