Week 4 : "REPORT ON" Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS )

What i have to do on this week task? On this week task, i have to record and analyze the data from the survey https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dC0tRWhpRml0NjVzRlhzM0xGVTVNU1E6MQ ,that me and Salina Sayang had done.  A software called SPSS is installed; a software that will analyze the data from the survey specifically.
How to collect data from the SPSS? Easy steps:
1. Open SPSS and start naming the variable using Variable View ..
      Example :

  •          Name: Form ID ; type: Numeric:; width : 8; decimals: 0; Label: Form Identification; values: none
  •           Name: Gender; type: numeric; width: 8; decimals: 0; Label Value (1, Male.....)
2. Data Entry (for printed questionnaire) using Data View
3. In data view, Data -> Merge / import data from Online Questionnaire spreadsheet (make sure that   the variable is the same)
4. Run the analyze ->descriptive data: Frequencies
5. Output will be displayed in SPSS Viewer
6. The table and graph can be copied from SPSS Viewer to OpenOffice Writer for reporting.


what i'd learned?
i'd learned how to use this software with ease and systematically. To be frank i dont even know what is SPSS. Then in this class i'd learned how to use it.From the data collected, we're writing a journal. the journal is based on the given format.
