1. Select at least three variables that you believe have a linear relationship. a. Specify how you will measure each of these variables (i.e., what instrument will you use and provide an APA reference for the instrument
Solution:
Let us consider the following variables: Score in Tests, Hours of Study and Financial Condition of the Student's Family...
Here, we just want to find a linear relationship among these variables... In this regard, we can collect a sample of students (say from 10 respondents) and then ask them about the number of hours that they study per day. Analyse their financial condition and then rate it on a predetermined scale (say 1 to 5)...
Later on we can determine the linear relationship among these variables...
Process/Instrument: Multiple Regression in Excel/R/Minitab/ SPSS etc...
Sample Solution:
So, the linear equation is:
Score = 3.72 + 1.92*Hours + 0.125*Economic Condition...
Excel Solution:
The Excel output is:
The Regression Equation is:
Score = 3.72 + 1.92*Hours + 0.125*Economic Condition...
End of the Solution...
