Question

Research Scenario: An addictions counselor is compiling data on the main substance used by each of his 23 clients before treatment. Based on the admissions data he has, he divides the substances into three main categories: Alcohol, Opioids, and Cocaine/Crack Cocaine. He records the number of clients in each category based on their reports of which substance they primarily used before seeking treatment. The frequencies are listed in the table below. Is the number of clients spread equally across the three types of substances? Using this table, enter the data into a new SPSS data file. Use the appropriate test to analyze the question and create the appropriate graph.

Alcohol - 8 Opioids-10 Cocaine/ Crack Cocaine- 5

I am not sure what type of dataset in SPSS to use for this question

Enter data like the screenshot shown. Two variables data and freq.

Label the data variables     1=Alcohol ,2=Opioids, 3=Cocaine/ Crack Cocaine

Now from the data menu--- weight cases – weight cases by freq and ok

Now do

Analyze---nonparametric tests --- legacy dialogs --- chi square ---select in the Test variable list-- the variable data and ok

You will get the required following output

data
	Observed N	Expected N	Residual
Alcohol	8	7.7	.3
Opioids	10	7.7	2.3
Cocaine/ Crack Cocaine	5	7.7	-2.7
Total	23
