Lab 1:
● Directions
○ A1 type “original” - column A as original ordering of data
○ Enter all scores in column A
○ C1 type “sorted”
○ Copy all scores and paste into column C
○ Highlight column C scores and at top right push “sort and filter”- smallest to
largest
○ type “sequence” E1
○ Enter 1 E2
○ Click and highlight from cell E2 to E32
○ Find “fill” top right, click series: columns , linear; step value 1, stop value 31 bc
31 is the largest value as shown in the sequence line
○ Frequency: # of individuals scoring a specific score (type “f” in cell F1)
○ Type “rf” in G1 (relative frequency= frequency of score/ total # of participants)
○ Type “%” in H1 ( percentile = rf times 100)
○ Type “cf” in I1 ( cumulative frequency = total # of individuals scoring at or below
a particular score)
○ Type “crf” in J1 (cumulative relative frequency= total relative frequency of scores
at or below at a particular score)
○ Type “c%” in K1 (cumulative percentile= total percentage of scores at or below a
particular score)
○ Write equation “=countif($A$2:$A$51,E2)” in cell F2
○ Then copy cell F2 and highlight till cell 32 and paste
○ Type “=” in cell G2, click on cell F2, then type “/50” cuz there are 50 data and
press enter
○ Copy and paste formula into rest of cells
○ Type “=” in cell H2, click on G2, type “*100”
○ Copy and paste formula into rest of cells
○ Type “=” in cell I2, then click F2 and press enter
○ Then type “=” in I3, then click cell I2, type “+” and click cell F3 and enter
○ Copy cell I3 and paste to rest of cells
○ Copy cells I2-I32 and paste into column J and K
● Lab 2: (grouped frequencies are are ranges of values, ungrouped are
specific data points)
-Ungrouped frequency distribution
● Switch to “Variable View” window, and write “grade” in the name column.
● Click on label and write “gpa”
● On values column click on “none” and add value labels ex: 1, label A, all the way to 4
bc GPA only goes from 1-4
● Graphs
○ Histogram (used for grouped frequencies)
■ Click “graphs” “histogram”; move variable into “variable” and click OK
○ Stem and Leaf and Boxplot
■ Select “analyze” “descriptive statistics” “explore” move variable into
“dependent list” and click OK
○ Bar graph
■ Select “graphs” “bar” “simple”
■ Move variable into “category axis” and click OK
● 4 levels of measurement
○ Nominal Measurement
Categorizes variables without a specific order (e.g., gender: male, female).
Measures frequency.
○ Ordinal Measurement
Categorizes variables in a ranked order (e.g., liking scale: "Like very much" to
"Dislike very much").Measures frequency and order.
○ Interval Measurement
Provides ordered categories with equal intervals but no absolute zero (e.g.,
Celsius temperature, comparing weekly arguments). Can be discrete or
continuous.
○ Ratio Measurement
Similar to interval but includes an absolute zero (e.g., heart rate, height).
Measures true quantities with proportional relationships.
