Running Head: ASSIGNMENT 4 1

This document contains an assignment with 6 tasks analyzing data from Chapter 4. The tasks involve plotting and interpreting error bar charts, error line charts, scatterplots with regression lines, and a scatterplot matrix. The charts show relationships between variables like mean number of friends, alcohol consumption, income, and neuroticism for students and lecturers. Key conclusions are that students had more friends and drank similar amounts of alcohol as lecturers on average, but lecturers' incomes and drinking habits varied more. Neuroticism and alcohol consumption were positively related for lecturers and negatively for students.

ASSIGNMENT 4 2

Assignment 4

Task 1: Using the data from Chapter 4 (which you should have saved, but if you didn’t, re-enter it), plot and interpret an error bar

chart showing the mean number of friends for students and lecturers.

From this graph, we can easily conclude that, on average, students had more friends than lecturers.

Task 2: Using the same data, plot and interpret an error bar chart showing the mean alcohol consumption for students and lecturers.
ASSIGNMENT 4 3

We can conclude that, on average, students and lecturers drank an almost similar amount of alcohol. Still, the error bars tell us more

variability in lecturers’ drinking habits than students’.

Task 3: Using the same data, plot and interpret an error line chart showing the mean income for students and lecturers.

We can conclude that, on average, students earn less than lecturers, but the error bars tell us that there is more variability in

lecturers’ income compared to students’.

Task 5: Using the same data, plot and interpret a scatterplot with regression lines of alcohol consumption and neuroticism grouped

by lecturer/student.
ASSIGNMENT 4 4

We can conclude that for lecturers, as neuroticism increases, so does alcohol consumption (a positive relationship), but for students,

the opposite is true. As neuroticism increases, alcohol consumption decreases.

Task 6: Using the same data, plot and interpret a scatterplot matrix with regression lines of alcohol consumption, neuroticism, and

several friends.
ASSIGNMENT 4 5

We can conclude that

1) There is no relationship (flat line) between the number of friends and alcohol consumption

2) There is a negative relationship between how neurotic a person was and their number of friends (line slopes downwards)

3) There is a slight positive relationship between how neurotic a person was and how much alcohol they drank (line slopes

upwards).
