EX.NO: 1 CREATING AND EDITING DATA USING SPSS
DATE:
AIM:
Creating and editing a data using IBM SPSS Statistics 20, to open SPSS and study about the
Menus and Tools in it and to enter data into SPSS Data Editor Window.
PROCEDURE:
Step 1: To start SPSS, choose IBM SPSS Statistics 20 from the Start menu. The Data Editor
window will be shown as below:
Step 2: In order to type any data into SPSS that you already have, you need to select Type in data
Option and then click on OK.
Step 3: If you are going to work on the existing data set in SPSS, click OK and select
C drive → Program Files → IBM → SPSS → Statistics → 20 → Samples → English →
choose the data set you desire.
Step 4: In the data editor window the Menu bar consists of the usual Windows menus, plus some specific
to SPSS, such as Data, Transform, Analyze and Graph. Details of the menus are given below:
Step5: The Menu bar provides easy access to most SPSS features. It consists of ten Drop-down menus:
Open Cust Speci Ar
, save, omize al rang
and toolba statistic e
print rs, al adds- and
data, turn on and sele
output, grid statistic ct
Step 6: In the variable declaration to declare the variable view, then enter the specified data in Data view
window.
Step 7: In the specified variable have three different measurements in spss.
Nominal or Categorical: A categorical variable is one that has two or more categories, but there is no
intrinsic ordering to the categories
For example:
● Gender (male, female)
● Hair color (black, blonde, brown, red, ...)
● Font type (times new roman, arial, calibri, )
Ordinal: An ordinal variable is similar to a categorical variable
1. The difference between the two is that there is a clear ordering of the variables
2. Education (less than high school, high school, associate’s degree, undergraduate, graduate)
3. SES (Socio Economic Status) (e.g., low, medium, high)
4. Even though we can order these from lowest to highest, the spacing between the values may not be
the same across the levels of the variables
Scale/interval: An interval variable is similar to an ordinal variable, except that the intervals between the
values of the interval variable are equally spaced
For example:
● Annual Income
● Agreement Questions (1-7 point rating scales)
In the variable declaration for the given id, first name, last name, gender, age, Education status and major
subject…
Step 8: Put into the values in the Data view windows given show the window.
Editing the Data set:
Step 9: In the editing dataset have you add a new data into the existing table or edit there data.
Before Editing:
Put into the specified value in the Colum for the variable city

EX.NO: 5 CHI-SQUARE TEST IN SPSS
DATE:
AIM:
INTRODUCTION:
The Chi-Square Test for Independence, also called Pearson's Chi-Square Test or the Chi- Square
Test of Association, is used to discover if there is a relationship between two categorical variables. In
other words, it tests whether or not a statistically significant relationship exists between a dependent and an
independent variable. The Chi-Square Test of Independence works with nominal/ordinal scales for both
the dependent and independent variables.
Typical questions answered with the Chi-Square Test of Independence are as follows:
Medicine - Are children more likely to get infected with virus A than adults?
Sociology - Is there a difference between the marital status of men and woman in their early 30s?
Management - Is customer segment A more likely to make an online purchase than segment B? Economy
- Do white-collar employees have a brighter economical outlook than blue-collar workers?
Scenario: Using Chi-Square Test, we are going to test whether there is a relationship between Gender (m-
Male, f-Female) and Job Category (1-Clerical, 2-Custodial and 3-Manager)

AIM:
INTRODUCTION:
The independent-samples t-test (or independent t-test, for short) compares the means between two
unrelated groups on the same continuous, dependent variable.
For example, you could use an independent t-test to understand whether first year graduate
salaries differed based on gender (i.e., your dependent variable would be "first year graduate
salaries" and your independent variable would be "gender", which has two groups: "male" and
"female").
Dataset: car_sales.sav
Information: Sales information about cars with 26 variables and 155 cases
Scenario: Finding whether there is any significant difference between the average sales based on
the type of vehicle (Automobile or Truck)

EX.NO:7 CORRELATION ANALYSIS IN SPSS
DATE:
AIM:
Find how strongly the variables are related to each other using SPSS.
PROCEDURE:
Step 1: Correlation is a statistical technique that can show whether and how strongly pairs of variables
are related. For example, height and weight are related; Correlation can tell you just how much of the
variation in peoples' weights is related to their heights.
The main result of a correlation is called the correlation coefficient (or "r"). It ranges from -1.0 to
+1.0. The closer r is to +1 or -1, the more closely the two variables are related.
If ‘r’ is close to 0, it means there is no relationship between the variables. If ‘r’ is positive, it means that as
one variable gets larger the other gets larger. If ‘r’is negative it means that as one gets larger, the other gets
smaller (often called an "inverse" correlation).
Step 2: Create a data set and Go to analyze →Correlate→Bivariate.
Step 3: To show the bivariate correlation window in the variable can select more than one field to drag
down right side variable view
Step 4: Finally, in that correlation method to related in between Meal Prices and wait time display given

AIM:
To analyze the linear regression model for the given data set base on the IBM SPSS Statistics 20, In
the regression model find out relationship between independent and dependent variable.
PROCEDURE:
Step 1: Create a dataset in IBM SPSS Statistics 20 and then save the file (filename.sav)
Step 2: Regression, perhaps the most widely used statistical technique, estimates relationships between
independent (predictor or explanatory) variables and a dependent (Response or outcome) variable.
Step 3: Regression models can be used to help understand and explain relationships among variables; they
can also be used to predict actual outcomes.
Independent variables are variables whose variation does not depend on that of another i.e. it is the
variable that you are using to predict.
Dependent variables are variables whose value depends on that of another i.e. it is the variable that you
are trying to predict.
Simple or Linear regression is used to examine the relationship between one dependent and one
independent variable.
After performing an analysis, the regression statistics can be used to predict the dependent variable
when the independent variable is known.
Step 4: Go to analyze menu to select the Regression and right side select the Linear
Step 5: Select the Independent variable and Dependent variable in the linear regression dialog box.
Step 6: Finally click ok to view the output window for the following, in the linear regress model R square

INTRODUCTION:
Factor Analysis is a variable-reduction technique used to reduce a larger set of variables into a smaller
set of 'articifial' variables, called factors or components or constructs, which account for most of the
variance in the original variables.
Factor analysis is a very useful method of reducing data complexity by reducing the number of variables
being studied.
For example, some people may respond similarly to questions about income, education, and occupation,
which are all associated with the latent variable socioeconomic status (factor).
CASE SUMMARY:

INTRODUCTION:
The Cluster analysis is a multivariate data mining technique whose goal is to groups objects based on a
set of user selected characteristics. The Cluster Analysis is an explorative analysis that tries to identify
structures within the data. Cluster analysis is also called segmentation analysis or taxonomy analysis. More
specifically, it tries to identify homogenous groups of cases, i.e., observations, participants, respondents.
Identifying New Product Opportunities: Clusters of similar brands/products can help identifying
competitors / market opportunities
CASE SUMMARY:
Dataset: car_sales.sav
Information: Sales information about cars with 13 variables and 150 cases
Scenario: To perform cluster analysis on car sales dataset (i.e.,) grouping cars based on the similarities
between the seven selected variables (Price in thousands, Engine size, Horsepower, Wheelbase, Curb
weight, Fuel capacity, Fuel capacity)
Prerequisite: The selected variables must be standardized before conducting cluster analysis because
all variables have been measured in different scale levels (in dollars, pounds, etc)
PROCEDURE FOR STANDARDISING THE VARIABLES:
Step 2: Move the seven variables (Price in thousands, Engine size, Horsepower, Wheelbase, Curb weight,
Step 3: Enable the Save standardized values as variables check box and Click Ok
Step 4: You see the descriptive statistics for the selected variables but what you really want to see is in
the Variable View, seven variables are created with z-scores (with mean=0 and standard deviation=1)
Step 2: Move the z-score variables that we created before to the “Variables” List Box by Clicking
Step 3: Move the Model variable in to “Label Cases” By List Box by clicking
Step 4: Enter 3 in the “Number of Clusters” text box

SUMMARY:
EX.NO : 13 OPERATIONS ANALYTICS
DATE:
AIM:
To analyze the following OPERATIONS dataset using SPSS and prepare a report.
STATISTICAL TOOLS:
1. Descriptive Statistics
2. Regression Analysis
Biscuits are considered as an important snacking option in the modern society. They are
seen as an important reflection of the snacking habits of the individuals. Taking biscuits with a hot
drink appeals to consumers, demonstrating how ingrained this occasion is in their culture. The rise
of snacking, as a result of longer working hours and shorter lunch breaks, has boosted the appeal
of snack packs and mini variants, partly due to shifts in preferences for foods that accompany
biscuits. The popularity of biscuits as a snack is seen to have a different impact on people of
different age groups and genders.
The cookies (sweet biscuits) market consists of the retail sales of assortment cookies,
butter-based cookies, chocolate cookies, cream-filled cookies, plain cookies, wafer cookies,
artisanal cookies, in-store bakery cookies, egg-based cookies, and various other categories.
A study is conducted to highlight the preference levels of customers on the basis of tastes in the
Indian market. Since most of the brands have come up with biscuits of almost every flavor and
taste, we would attempt to study the importance of taste in studying the preference for biscuits. It
is observed that in the recent times there has been a general shift towards the category of healthier
foods in the market. Hence, in our study we would aim to gauge the impact of this behavior on the
biscuits market as well.
Needless to mention that biscuits industry in India is highly competitive. Therefore, the
study will also focus on the perception of the consumer with respect to the pre-purchase behavior.
Moreover, the study would attempt to provide an insight into the relative importance given to
variety, brand, packaging, and price of biscuits by the consumers.
Biscuits are relatively low priced and are generally used up in a period of day, weeks, or
may be months. Customers do not spend much time in deciding a product. The relevance of biscuits
as a product differs from consumer to consumer based on how the product is perceived by him
which in turn influences his buying decision.
To address these, the following hypotheses have been framed to examine in the present
study, and a questionnaire has been framed to collect data to examine the stated hypotheses.
The hypotheses and the questionnaire formulated are given in the following section:
Hypotheses
H1. There is no significant relationship between health consciousness among people and sales
of biscuits.
H2. There is no significant relationship between price sensitivity and sales of biscuits.
H3. There is no significant relationship between brand preference and sales of biscuits.
H4. There is no significant relationship between snacking habits and sales of biscuits.
H5. There is no significant relationship between packaging and sales of biscuits.
H6. There is no significant difference in taste preference among consumers.
Questionnaire
Dear Sir/Madam,
With the availability of multiple brands of biscuits of various choices, we would like to study
how one chooses a specific biscuit over another.
We are conducting a survey to analyze the consumer preferences for biscuit as a snacking option.
