was collected regarding 100 individuals after their death. It captures their longevity, and their parents’ and grandparents’ lifespan, and whether they were smokers. Using these data (in SPSS):

1. Generate a histogram for the longevity variable.

2. Generate an appropriate graph to examine the distribution of smokers in the sample. Interpret the results.

3. Generate two new variables: average parents’ lifespan, and average grandparents’ lifespan.

4. Generate a chart (pick an appropriate one) to examine whether a person’s longevity relates to the average life span of their parents. Repeat this for their grandparents.

5. Looking at the graphs can you infer which association is stronger? Explain.
