EX NO 4-A Pearson Correlation Using Spss

The document provides data from four different studies that investigated correlations between variables: 1) A study of the correlation between age and memory score in a sample of individuals. 2) A study of the correlation between job stress and job satisfaction scores. 3) A study comparing the rankings of clinical events by experienced clinicians versus students. 4) A study of the correlation between age and sales price for various warships.

EX NO 4-a PEARSON CORRELATION USING SPSS

An investigator obtains scores for a person’s age in years and their score on a measure of memory
function. Higher scores on the memory task reflect better memories. The investigator has predicted that
the two variables will be significantly correlated.

a. What is the correlation between the two variables?

b. Please provide a scatterplot of the relationship between the two variables.

c. Please test the significance of the correlation coefficient. Be sure to include both the

null and alternative hypotheses, your decision rule for deciding whether or not to

reject the null hypothesis, and your conclusion.

d. What can the investigator say about the relationship between age and memory?
EX NO 4-b PEARSON CORRELATION USING SPSS

An investigator obtains scores for job stress and scores for job satisfaction. Higher scores on the job
stress measure indicate higher levels of job stress. Scores for the measure of job stress can range from 3
to 25. Higher scores on the measure of job satisfaction reflect higher levels of job satisfaction. Scores on
the measure of job satisfaction can range from 35 to 100. The investigator has predicted that the two
variables will be significantly correlated.

EX : 4-c SPEARMAN’S CORRELATION COEFFICIENT USING SPSS

In a study of diagnostic processes, entering clinical graduate students are shown a 20-minute videotape
of children’s behavior and asked to rank-order 10 behavioral events on the tape in the order of the
importance each has for a behavioral assessment. (1 = most important.) The data are then averaged to
produce an average rank ordering for the entire class. The same thing was then done using experienced
clinicians.

The data follow:

Events 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Experienced Clinicians: 1 3 2 7 5 4 8 6 9 10

New Students 2 4 1 6 5 3 10 8 7 9

Use Spearman’s Γs to measure the agreement between experienced and novice clinicians
EX : 4-d SIMPLE LINEAR REGRESION USING SPSS

Ten warships between 1 and 6 years old were randomly selected from last year’s sales records in

Virginia Beach, Virginia. The following data were obtained, where x denotes age, in years, and

y denotes sales price, in hundreds of dollars.

X 6 6 6 4 2 5 4 5 1 2

y 125 115 130 160 219 150 190 163 260 260

a. Graph the data in a scatterplot to determine if there is a possible linear relationship.

b. Compute and interpret the linear correlation coefficient, r.

c. Determine the regression equation for the data.

d. Graph the regression equation and the data points.

e. Identify outliers and potential influential observations.

f. Compute and interpret the coefficient of determination, r2 (R square).

g. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the slope of the
population regression line is not 0 and, hence, that age is useful as a predictor of sales price for
warships?

h. Obtain and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the slope, β, of the population regression line that
relates age to sales price for warships.

i. Obtain a point estimate for the mean sales price of all 4-year-old warships.

j. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean sales price of all 4-year-old warships.

k. Find the predicted sales price of Jack Smith’s 4-year-old warship.

l. Determine a 95% prediction interval for the sales price of Jack Smith’s 4-year-old warship.
