Plotting

To plot statistical data

You can plot:

•Histograms

•Box-and-Whisker plots

•Normal Probability plots

•Line plots

•Bar graphs

•Pareto charts

Once you have entered your data and defined your data set, you can plot your data. You can plot up to five box- and-whisker plots at a time; however, with the other types, you can only plot one at a time.

1.In the Symbolic view, select the data sets you want to plot.

2.From the Plotn menu, select the plot type.

3.For any plot, but especially for a histogram, adjust the plotting scale and range in the Plot Setup view. If you find histogram bars too fat or too thin, you can adjust them by changing the HWIDTH setting. (See “Setting up the plot (Plot Setup view)” on page 221.)

4.Press P. If the scaling is not to your liking, press Vand select Autoscale.

Autoscale can be relied upon to give a good starting scale which can then be adjusted, either directly in the Plot view or in the Plot Setup view.
