D. Prezi
E. PSPP
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A, C, E only
Data analysis in research requires software specifically designed for statistical computation, data organization, and analysis.
SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) is a widely used software specifically designed for statistical data analysis in social science and other research, offering tools for descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, regression, and more.
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program that, besides general data organization, provides functions, formulas, and basic statistical/analytical tools that researchers commonly use for data entry, cleaning, and preliminary analysis.
PSPP is a free and open-source software application designed as an alternative to SPSS, specifically built for the statistical analysis of sampled data.
Microsoft Teams is a communication and collaboration platform used for messaging, video calls, and file sharing; it is not designed for data analysis.
Prezi is a presentation software used to create visually dynamic slideshows, similar in purpose to PowerPoint, and is not a data-analysis tool.
Hence, the correct combination is SPSS, Microsoft Excel, and PSPP only (A, C, E).
