ABSTRACT
With PASW, it is possible to make publication-quality graphs. One important advantage of using PASW to create students graphs instead of using other software (e.g., Excel or SigmaPlot) is that the data have already been entered. Thus, duplication is eliminated, and the chance of making a transcription error is reduced. The Frequencies command produces output that indicates both the number of cases in the sample with a particular value and the percentage of cases with that value. The Histogram command creates a grouped frequency distribution. The range of scores is split into evenly spaced groups. The midpoint of each group is plotted on the X-axis, and the Y-axis represents the number of scores for each group. Scatterplots display two values for each case with a mark on the graph.
