Descriptive statistics in SPSS

This video demonstrates how to conduct descriptive statistics using SPSS. This SPSS for beginner's lesson will clarify your confusion on descriptive statistics. Descriptive statistics are the foundation for further advanced statistical analyses such as inferential statistics.

Descriptive statistics
Describe the basic features of the data in a study.
Provide simple summaries about the sample and the variables.
Often with simple graphics, descriptive statistics form the basis of virtually every quantitative analysis of data.

When we describe a study variable, we essentially look at three major characteristics of that variable.
The distribution-frequency of occurrence of a variable.
The central tendency-an estimate of the centre of the distribution. Mostly expressed in Mean, Median, and Mode.
The dispersion-how the values are spread around the central tendency. Often expressed in the range and the standard deviation.
