A recent study investigated whether the number of positive health behaviors (e.g., exercising, eating healthy) is predictive of a person's score on a happiness index, such that as positive health behaviors go up, happiness goes up. The results from the study, which was conducted with 12 people, were as follows: r = 0.63 and SSY = 56.0.
What is the MSregression? What is the MSresidual? What is the calculated test statistic?
Do you reject the null?
Given your conclusion about the null, in a sentence describes what the results of the study were.
Null Hypothesis, Ho: There is no relationship between positive health behavior and happiness scores of a person.
Alternative Hypothesis,Ha: There is significant relationship between positive health behavior and happiness scores of a person.
Conclusion: We have sufficient evidence at 5% level of significance to conclude that the number of positive health behaviors (e.g., exercising, eating healthy) is predictive of a person's score on a happiness index, such that as positive health behaviors go up, happiness goes up.
