Building Visuals in SPSS Lab
As we move forward in this course, we will increasingly use resources from Laerd Statistics. Many of the weekly labs will use example data from Laerd and will follow the associated guides as a workbook to learn the relevant SPSS skills for each week. Reference the links to your readings for this week to see where you can download the data and follow along with the Laerd guides.
**PLEASE NOTE: Lab assignments that use the Laerd guides require you to walk through SPSS activities according to the process outlined in Laerd, then using what you learned through that process, you should write a response to the lab questions IN YOUR OWN WORDS. Do not simply copy and paste written descriptions from Laerd and use them as your own work.
- Activity:
- Follow the instructions on all 5 of the Laerd guides (bar chart, line graph, simple histogram, simple scatterplot, pie chart) and work through the examples with the data provided through the website, then once you have produced the visuals for each guide, copy and paste it into a Word document to show your work.
- For each visual, write a brief description for why the visual is appropriate for the kind of variables you are working with, paying particular attention to the variables level of measurement.
**Note: Make sure to put your work into 1 single Word document that you will submit for this assignment. Include your answers to the questions AND the SPSS output in the Word document that you submit.
