    1. Discuss the test of normality (2 points)Based on the test of normality, what statistical test are we going to use to test the relationship?
  1. Refer to the table above and report the most applicable test of relationship (2 points)

Spearman's rho^ GPA : D(64) = .384, p=.000 (<.05) - not normally distributed^ Anger: D(64) = .088, p=.200 (>.05) - normally distributed

The tables suggests a negative low correlation between the two varialbes. Since the p-value is greater than 0.05 significance level, this suggest that there is no significant relationship between Anger level and GPA.^ rs(64)= -.193, p=.

CASE 2 significant difference in terms of neuroticism at a 0.0 reported to be normally distributed.: Researchers at the Alida institute wanted to know if one’s marital status has a5 level of significance? Data was

    1. Does the data show significant evidence to conclude that neuroticism has a significant difference in terms of marital status? Discuss. [2 points]Which post hoc analysis should be used based on the given data? (Discuss if applicable; otherwise type N/A if not applicable).

in terms of marital status.^ • Since the p-value is less than 0.05 level of significance, this suggests that there is a significant difference in neuroticism^ 22. F(2,12) = 8.667, P=.005 (p<.05) 23. Assuming that the data is normally distributed, since the homogeneity tests showed that it can be assumed to be equal, we can use Tukey HSD test.

  1. Based on the table, is the model significantly better at Discuss (2 points) predicting the outcome?
  2. Discuss the gradient. (2 points) CASE 4 and positive affect among points] : Captain Owen Strand his firemen and paramedics stationed wanted to know the relationship between depression at the Firehouse 126. [ Refer to this image in answering the following items
    1. How many respondents took part in the study? (1 point)What is the strength of the relationship between (1 point) the variables stated in the case?
  3. What conclusion can be made with the variables at the 0.05 significance level? (2points)

outcome than some random method, F(1, 71) = 15.607, p < 0.001.^ The table indicates that the regression model is significantly better at predicting For each one-unit increase in stress level, the quality of life scores decreases by .562. t = -13.951, p<0.001.Therefore, stress levelsignificantly contribute to the variance in quality of life.

Negative low correlation^30 Since the p-value is greater than 0.05 significance level, this suggest that there is no significant relationship between Depression and Positive Affect.

CASE 5 of the respondents when grouped according to gender [8 points]: Dr. Lee wanted to know if there is a significant difference in the quality of life

  1. Discuss the mean scores. Based on this table, can we already conclude that is significantly higher than the other? Justify [3 points]
  2. At the 0.05 level of significance, can we conclude that there is a significant difference between gender and quality of life? Justify. [2 points]

A^ Female: W(22) = .954, p=.371 - Normally distributed^ Male: W(13) = .951, p=.612 - normally distributed

The mean indicates that the Quality of life is higher for female. However we cannot conclude whether the difference is significant yet.

quality of life when grouped according to sex.^ Since the p-value is greater than the.05. level of significance, the table suggests that there is no significant difference on
