Part 9: DEPENDENT VARIABLES & FACTORS, continued

A neat tool that is illustrated in Figure 2.18Croatia hotels will become available. By using this tool, users can manipulate SPSS default tables to fit their data presentation and reporting needs.

Figure 2.18

After the steps illustrated in Figures 2.15 through 2.18 have been completed (and some other steps to be discussed later), the table illustrated in Figure 2.14Palma de Mallorca hotel rooms will be changed to look like the one in Table 2.6.

Table 2.6

When comparing the mean and confidence interval, it would be a good idea to consider the number of cases contributing to the statistics in each region. The Case Processing Summary presented in Table 2.7 is a component of the default output. Several important issues can be examined by perusing the Case Processing Summary. For instance, Region 8 (Sedgwick) seems to have an unusually large number of missing cases. Region 10 (Northwest) may be a cause for concern in this regard also.
