1:The command Into Same Variable replaces existing data with new values, but
the command Into Different Variables adds a new variable to the data set
2: Command push buttons: Buttons that can be used to run the procedure by
opening a subdialog box to make additional specifications. Some of the push
buttons are:
OK : Click this button to run the procedure.
Paste: Click this button to generate command syntax from your selections. The
command syntax is pasted into a syntax window, where it can be modified for
future analysis. This creates the code regularly known as SPSS programs.
Reset: Deselects any selections, and resets all specifications in the dialog box
and any subdialog boxes to the default status.
Cancel: Cancels any change in the dialog box settings since the last time it
was opened. This will close the dialog box.
Help: Provides help about the current dialog box.
3: Numeric variables contain only numbers and are suitable for numeric
calculations such as addition and multiplication. String variables may contain
letters, numbers and other characters.
4: eta-squared indicates the % of the variance in the Dependent Variable (DV)
attributable to a particular Independent Variable (IV).
Cohen's d indicates the size of the difference between two means in standard
deviation units.
5: The Data View tab displays the open data set: variables appear in columns,
and cases appear in rows. The Variable View tab displays information about
variables in the open data (but not the data themselves), such as variable
names, types, and labels, etc.
6: Data Menu: The data menu allows you to define variable properties, sort
cases, merge files, split files, select cases and use a variable to weight cases.
7: Analyze Menu: The analyze menu is where all statistical analysis takes place.
From descriptive statistics to regression analysis to nonparametric tests.
8: Defining variables
Name Should not exceed 64 characters.
Start with a letter. No symbols or
spaces.
Type Numeric is the default option.
Width 8 is the default option.
Decimals 2 is the default option.
Label Used to provide a longer description
of your variable. This will be used in
the output window.
9: in correlation in SPSS there are four methods to calculate the correlation
coefficient. For continuous variables in correlation in SPSS, there is an option in
the analysis menu, bivariate analysis with Pearson correlation.
10: Go on analyze and then descriptive statistics and then frequency, after that
add the variables u want and then click on statistics and select mean, median,
mode and standard deviation.
11: There are three commonly used measures of central tendency – the mode,
median, and mean of a distribution. The mode is the most common value or
values in a distribution. The median is the middle value of a distribution. The
mean is the sum of all the values divided by the number of values.
