I have a data set of exam scores (knowledge of skilled birth attendants
from different countries) expressed as percentage of questions answered
correctly. I want to create boxplots that show the scores from each
country in a different boxplot. Creating the plot itself is no
problem. However, the scores are stored as decimals (75.2% is stored as
0.752), so my Y axis displays as .0, .2, .4,... 1.0. I would like it to
display instead as 0%, 20%, 40%,... 100%. Is there any command that will
allow me to do this? If at all possible, I would like the "%" character to
be included (20%, not just 20). I would like labels for outliers to
display the same way (i.e., 27.5% instead of 0.275).
I could create a new variable: scorep = score*100 but I would like to avoid
this if possible, since I am also reporting out a variety of sub-scores
(e.g., "total" knowledge, knowledge of labor monitoring, knowledge of
pre-eclampsia, etc.). If this is the only option, I would have to create
newvars for each sub-score in addition to the total score.
