Lecture 7: A Second SPSS Run
The first SPSS run read your ten cases into the computer and simply listed them without having the computer do any computing. On your second run, you will use the data management capabilities of SPSS to create a new variable, VOTEGAIN--the number of electoral votes that the state gained or lost between the 1990 and 2000 censuses. Call up your mystates file, updated with the 2000 census electoral vote data. Go to the Transform menu and click on Compute
	You'll be asked to name a "target variable" in which to store the results of your computation. Enter votegain. Then click on 2000 electoral votes and click the arrow to move it to the "numerical expresssion" box. Click on the minus sign. It will appear in the "numerical expression" box. Then click on 1990 electoral votes and click the arrow to move it to the "numerical expression" box. Then click on OK and the new variable will be computed and created.
	Print the screen results, write your name on the output, staple the pages together, and bring to class to submit.
