Write up the results of each exercise, providing appropriate tables (or graphs) and written commentary for each exercise. To your written report, attach a set of the SPSS printouts you have produced (presented as a tidy Appendix).

 

 

** Based on your class number (you could check it from AUT online), please delete 5 cases based on your class number. (For example, if your class number is 1[2/3/../6/..], you MUST delete case ID 1-5 [11-15/21-25/…/51-55/..]). So, each student will use a different data set.My class number is 1

 

 

 

A marketing researcher wants to examine the moderating role that brand awareness plays in the relationship between price presentation (i.e., precise price vs. rounded price) and attitude toward brand X (1= very bad/not at all positive, 9 = very good/very positive). The mediator is the ease of processingprice information (1= easy to process price information, 9 = difficult to process price information). Mood (1= bad mood, 9 = good mood) is also measured. Same size was 309.
