ANSWER::
A researcher wanted to see if motivation scale, grades in high school, and parents’ education predict students’ math achievement.
The independent variables are motivation scale, grades in high school, and parents’ education, gender.
The dependent variable is the students’ math achievement.
1)
from the first table of ANOVA, we are finding that the conducted regression analysis is significant or not
i.e.e at least one independent/predictor variable is significant or not.
Ho: All independent/predictor variables are insignificant
vs
Ha: at least one independent/predictor variable is significant
Her from table , P-value = "sig." = 0.00
We reject Ho if P-value < 0.05
Here p-value = 0.00 < 0.05
So we reject Ho
We may conclude that at least one independent/predictor variable is significant.
2)
From the second table,
we will test for each variable is significant or not
Ho:- Variable is insignificant
vs
Ha: Variable is significant.
if the variable is significant then we will use it in our regression analysis.
Variable is significant is P-value = "sig." is less than 0.05
Variable | P-value | < 0.05 | Significant / insignificant |
motivation scale | 0.03 | yes | significant |
grades in h.s. | 0.000 | yes | significant |
Parent's education | 0.042 | yes | significant |
gender | 0.006 | yes | significant |
(Note: level of significance used is 0.05)
Here we found that the independent variables are motivation scale, grades in high school, and parents’ education, gender are significant.
The regression equation is:
students’ math achievement. = -5.444 + (2.148* motivation scale) + (1.991*grades in high school) + (0.580* parents’ education) +( -3.631*gender)
From above equation we can predict the students’ math achievement using the motivation scale, grades in high school, and parents’ education, gender.
