Using SPSS to Understand Research and Data Analysis.

• 3.1c The Frequencies: Charts dialog box

So far all we have done is specify which variables for which frequency tables will be generated. However, the interpretation of frequency tables is often facilitated by generating charts of the frequencies, so we will turn to that process before running the procedure. To request charts, click the Charts button at the bottom of the Frequencies dialog box (Figure 3.9).

This causes a new Frequencies: Charts dialog box to appear (Figure 3.10).

This box allows us to select which type of chart to create. For this example, click the Bar charts radio button. We could also choose percentages instead of frequencies as the Chart values to be displayed, but we will leave the frequencies check box selected. Now click the Continue button in the upper right corner of this dialogue window (Figure 3.11).

The Frequencies: Charts box will close, returning you to the Frequencies dialogue box. Now we are ready to run this procedure. To do this, click the OK button in the upper right corner of this box (Figure 3.12).
