Welcome!
To the KWIKSTAT Tutorial, EXAMPLE 1
Suppose you created three electromagnets made of three
different kinds of wire -- Small, Medium and Large gauge. You
tested each magnet to see how many nails it would pick up. You
want a BAR CHART to show your results.
YOUR DATA IS... 1-2-3 steps to CREATE a BAR CHART:
---------------------- -----------------------------------
MAGNET NAILS 1. Create a NEW database
---------- --------- 2. Enter the data
SMALL 31 3. Select the graph to display
MEDIUM 38
LARGE 51
STEP 1: From the "FILE" pull-down menu, choose New Database. You are
asked to enter the name for your new database. Enter a name, like
"MAGNETS", of up to 8 characters. (No blanks in the name.)
Choose the database type from a list of pre-defined databases, or you
can create a custom database. To create a BAR CHART, choose the SIMPLE
BAR CHART option.
STEP 2: ENTER DATA - This is where you enter your results of your
experiment -- the data entry screen. Enter the data for the first
magnet as record 1.
Your first Label is SMALL (small wire)
Your first Value is 31 (number of nails)
Type SMALL (press Enter), type 31 (Press Enter), then enter the
numbers for records 2 and 3. Press F7 (Exit) to end entry.
STEP 3: CHOOSE WHAT GRAPH TO USE: For this example, choose the
Graph from the ANALYZE pull-down menu, then choose the Bar Graph
option.
NOTE: Once the graph is displayed, you can use the menu at the top of
the screen to change colors, patterns, titles, and so on for each
graph.
KWIKSTAT allows you to create these kinds of graphs:
o Bar Chart, Pie Chart, Line Chart, Area Chart
o Histogram, Box and Whiskers, Normal Curve
o Cumulative Distribution, Stem and Leaf Plot
o X-Y Scatterplot
o Time Series Plot
o By Group Plot, and more
