I'm doing a written report for my statistics class and we have to use excel
to do it. I've never used excel before and it is extremely confusing for me.
We are given a data set and are told to do several tasks. We have to make a
percent frequency distribution of key variables, make a bar graph or pie
chart, make a crosstabulation, and make a scatter diagram. I don't know how
to do any of this. Can someone please help me? This is due tomorrow, I'm in
despereate need of help. I would be so grateful.
