ABSTRACT
In Chapter 2, we discussed many of the options available in SPSS for dealing with data. Now we will discuss ways to summarize our data. The procedures used to describe and summarize data are called descriptive statistics. Section 3.1 Frequency Distributions and Percentile Ranks
The Frequencies command produces frequency distributions for the specified variables. The output includes the number of occurrences, percentages, valid percentages, and cumulative percentages. The valid percentages and the cumulative percentages comprise only the data that are not designated as missing.
