b) Preprogram smoking was significantly less than the post program smoking
c) Pre program smoking was significantly greater than the post program smoking
d) Pre-program and post program smoking could not be compared.
Q-4 How do you interpret the results in the following table for a hypothesis which tests whether caffeine
and smoking predict the energy level of an individual.

a) The model predicts 12.7 % of the variation in DV but it’s not significant.
b) The model predicts 12.7 % of the variation in DV and it’s significant.
c) The model predicts only 0.08 % of the variation in DV and it’s significant.
d)The model predicts only 0.08 % of the variation in DV but it’s not significant.

.041

Q-5 A researcher wants to know whether supervisory support (Likert scale: strongly disagree, disagree,
neutral, agree, strongly disagree) predicts work performance. The most appropriate test for this could
be:
a) ANOVA b) Independent sample T-Test c) Linear regression d) Mann-Whitney U test

Q-6 In a research investigating whether there is a correlation between a person’s age and the items learnt
(memory). Following is the correlation table.

Correlations
Vocabulary
Age Items learnt
Age Pearson Correlation 1 .300**
Sig. (2-tailed) .002
N 100 100
**
Vocabulary Items learnt Pearson Correlation .300 1
Sig. (2-tailed) .002
N 100 100
**. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).

What would you predict for the result?


1-there is no association between age and vocabulary learnt
2- Age and vocabulary learning have a positive and moderate correlation
3- Age and vocabulary learning have a strong positive correlation
4- Age and vocabulary learning have a weak positive correlation

Q-7 From the following, which is NOT a precondition for linear regression.
a) Your dependent variable should be measured on a continuous scale (i.e., it is either
an interval or ratio variable).

b) There needs to be a linear relationship between the dependent variable and independent variables

c) The residuals should not follow a pattern.

d)  Homoscedasticity

Q-8 To check the assumption of a linear relationship between IV and DV in regression the following test
id used
a) P-P plot b) Durbin -Watson c) scatter plot d) box-plot
Q-9 Homoscedasticity is a precondition of regression analysis which means:

a) IV and DV have a linear relation


b) IV and DV should not have high correlation
c) The error variance is evenly distributed around IV
d) The errors are independent of each other
Q-10 The regression beta of 0.23 in a regression result explains that.

a) One unit increase in IV brings about 0.23 unit of increase in DV


b) One percentage increase in IV brings around 2.3 % increase in DV
c) IV explains 2.3 % variation in DV
d) A one unit increase in DV brings 2.3 units of increase in IV

Q-11. A researcher wants to know whether business school graduates and science graduates have any
difference between their incomes. The income distributions are not normally distributed. Which test he
should use.
a) Man-Whitney U test b) ANOVA c) Paired sample T Test d) Independent sample T Test
Q-12. A researcher wants to know whether gender and income level have a combined effect on their
spending. The table below shows that:

a) The only significant categories in terms of change in spending are male and female on high income
group.
b) The only significant categories in terms of change in spending are male and female on average income
group.
c) The only significant categories in terms of change in spending are male and female on low income group.
d) There is no difference in spending between men and women in terms of any category of income.

Q-14 The table below comes from the data file where a researcher tests the hypothesis that age
moderates the positive relationship of motivation (AVG_MOT) with performance (AVG_PER).
On the basis of the results in the above tables, you will -------Accept-------------- (accept/reject) the
hypothesis. The results show that there is -----------significant-------------------------- (significant/
insignificant) interaction between AVG_MOT and ----- Avg_Perf---------------------------- and the value of
the interaction term is –2.10---Avg_Perf--------------------------- which is significant at p<0.05. The results
also show that the relationship between AVG_MOT and AVG_PERF is -weaker---(weaker/ stronger) at –
low ---(low/high) levels of moderator AGE.

b) The decision rule for whether a variable X mediates the relationship between an IV and DV in
PROCESS MACRO is based on the ----Interacting---------------------------effects of X on Y.
