This guide gives students just enough information and instruction to effectively use SPSS for Windows to perform such procedures at stem-and-leaf displays, t-tests, multiple regressions, and scatterplots. In addition, it makes learning the SPSS program simple, whether students need it to do homework problems or to conduct statistical analyses for a research project.
