Using IBM SPSS statistics
How would you use the drop-down menus in SPSS to generate a frequency table?
Open the Output Viewer and click: Save As; Pie Chart
Click on: Analyze; Descriptive Statistics; Frequencies
Click on: Graphs; Frequencies; Pearson
Open the Variable Viewer and recode the value labels
Click on: Analyze; Descriptive Statistics; Frequencies
Following this set of steps will open the “Frequencies” dialog box, in which you can select the variables you want to analyse and then click “OK”. It is worthwhile experimenting with the various drop-down menus to discover what else SPSS can do for you. Probably the best course of action is to ‘play’ with the gym-set data until you feel you are comfortable with the programme, then input your own data.
