INTRODUCTION
• SPSS is a software used for statistical analysis and data
management.
• It is a collection of software tools designed to analyze
scientific data in the field of social sciences.
• Developed originally for social sciences, it is now widely
used in various fields like business, healthcare, and
education.
SPSS AND IBM
• SPSS was originally developed by three Stanford
University students in 1968 and was later acquired by
IBM (International Business Machines Corporation) in
2009.
• Since then, it has been branded as IBM SPSS Statistics
and is a key part of IBM’s analytics and data science
portfolio.
• IBM is a multinational technology company
headquartered in Armonk, New York, and is known for its
contributions to computer hardware, software, and
artificial intelligence.

Easy to navigate, even for beginners.
Powerful Analysis:
Offers many statistical tools in one platform.
Handles Big Data:
Manages large datasets efficiently.
Clear Visuals:
Creates charts and graphs for better insights.
Widely Trusted:
Used globally in research, academics, and business.
FEATURES OF SPSS
• Data Management:
→Offers tools for efficient data entry, cleaning, transformation,
and handling of complex datasets.
• Statistical Analysis:
→Perform basic statistics like mean and standard deviation.
→Conduct advanced analyses like regression and ANOVA.
• Visualization:
→Create graphs and charts to visualize data trends.
• Syntax Editor:
→It allows users to write, edit and run commands for automating

PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION
WORKFLOW
Data Input
• Importing data into SPSS from various sources like Excel, CSV, or
survey platforms.
• Example: A dataset containing responses to a survey on customer
satisfaction.

Descriptive Statistics
Summarizing and describing the main features of the dataset.
• Examples:
Mean: The average value (e.g., average satisfaction score).
Mode: The most frequent value (e.g., most common rating).
Standard Deviation: A measure of how spread out the values are
(e.g., variation in satisfaction scores).

Visual Analysis
Creating graphs to help understand patterns in the data.
• Examples:
Bar Chart: Visualizes categorical data (e.g., distribution of
customer satisfaction ratings).
Hypothesis Testing

Testing a claim or hypothesis about the data.


• Examples:
t-test: Compares the means of two groups (e.g.,
comparing customer satisfaction between two age
groups).
ALTERNATIVES TO SPSS
• R Programming
• Python
• SAS
• Excel
APPLICATIONS
1. Research:
Analysing survey data, experiments, and other research findings.
2. Education:
