The SPSS software package was created for the management and statistical analysis of social science
data. It was originally launched in 1968 by SPSS Inc., and was later acquired by IBM in 2009. SPSS is
used to store values from the field. It looks like a spreadsheet where both quantitative and
qualitative information collected from the field can be entered. This information can also be
organized and stored for future use or analysed. It converts raw data to something that can be
explained through different outputs. It is used to transform the data so as to check the validity of the
test. It has a built-in ability to test the data hence save you from tedious calculations. It is used to
calculate the relationship between data types. Chi-square tests help to establish a relationship
between two factors. Z-test and t-tests parts of the SPSS are verified using the ANOVA is one way in
which the SPSS carries out the comparison of different means of findings.
