2. Photocopier:
- A photocopier, also known as a copy machine or copier, is designed specifically to produce
duplicate copies of physical documents.
- It works by using a bright light to scan the original document and then transferring the image
onto a blank piece of paper through a process involving static electricity, light, and toner or ink.
3. Statistical software has some common characteristics that make it reliable and suitable for
data analysis:
There is availability of menu bar comprises drop-down menu, quick analysis as well as brief user
manual.
A toolbar is part of a window, often a bar across the top, that contains buttons that execute
commands when you click them.
4. Three most important components of Excel is which you need to understand first:
Cell: A cell is a smallest but most powerful part of a spreadsheet. We can enter our data into a cell
either by typing or by copy-paste.Worksheet: A worksheet is made up of individual cells which
can contain a value, a formula, or text. We can rename the sheet names to more meaningful names
by double clicking on it.Workbook: A workbook is a collection of worksheet. Each workbook
contains one or more worksheets.
i. Data editor window This window opens automatically when you start SPSS. It displays the
contents of the current (working) data file. The window has two views Data view: displays the
data in a spreadsheet format with variable names listed for column headings. Variable view:
which displays information about the variables in your data set.
In both views, you can add, change, and delete information that is contained in the data file.The
Data Editor displays the contents of the active data file. The information in the data editor consists
of variables and cases.In Data View, columns represent variables, and rows represent cases
(observations).In Variable View, each row is a variable, and each column is an attribute that is
associated with that variable.
v. Syntax window Most SPSS commands are accessible from the SPSS menus and dialog boxes.
However, some commands and options are available only by using the SPSS command language.
In this case the Syntax Window is used. The Easiest way to create syntax is to use Paste button
located on most dialog box.
6. The major difference between the versions is the number of variables allowed in memory,
which is limited to 2,047 in standard Stata/IC, but can be much larger in Stata/SE or Stata/MP.The
only limit is the amount of RAM on your computer. Stata/MP is the largest and fastest versions of
Stata. Easy to export and import data. Tasks we want to perform in Stata:
Data management
Create a new data set, Opening a data set, Merge different data sets, Label and structure variables.
Data analysis
Using some descriptive statistics, making some graphs, tables and
