➔ Compute variable with difference of 2 variables:
◆ Transform—compute variable–name the new variable—select variable 1-variable
2 in the numeric expression box
➔ Compute variable with rounded numbers:
◆ Transform—compute variable–name the new variable—choose RND(1) in the
function group—replace (?) with the target variable
➔ Create a frequency table:
◆ Analyze–descriptive statistics—frequencies
◆ Click statistics—choose what statistics you want (mean, s.d., variance, range
etc.)—continue
◆ charts—histogram
➔ Recode a variable:
◆ Transform–recode into different variables –select the variable—name the output
variable—click change– click old and new value
● Indicate the old value— give the new value—click add

variable (based on the groups we will compare)—define groups—add test
variables–ok
◆ Look at the t value and the associated significance (NOT Levene’s test)!!!!
➔ Paired samples t-test:
◆ Analyze–compare means—paired samples t-test—choose variable 1 and variable
2 (in pair 1)—ok
