Regression and Corellation Five Questions
| Regression and Corellation | Five Questions | ||||||||||
| Remember to show how you got your results in the appropriate cells. For questions using functions, show the input range when asked. | |||||||||||
| 1 | Create a correlation table using Compa-ratio and the other interval level variables, except for Salary. | ||||||||||
| Suggestion, place data in columns T – Y. | |||||||||||
| What range was placed in the Correlation input range box: | |||||||||||
| Place C9 in output box. | |||||||||||
| b | What are the statistically significant correlations related to Compa-ratio? | T = | |||||||||
| c | Are there any surprises – correlations you though would be significant and are not, or non significant correlations you thought would be? | ||||||||||
| d | Why does or does not this information help answer our equal pay question? | ||||||||||
| 2 | Perform a regression analysis using compa as the dependent variable and the variables used in Q1 along with | ||||||||||
| including the dummy variables. Show the result, and interpret your findings by answering the following questions. | |||||||||||
| Suggestion: Place the dummy variables values to the right of column Y. | |||||||||||
| What range was placed in the Regression input range box: | |||||||||||
| Note: be sure to include the appropriate hypothesis statements. | |||||||||||
| Regression hypotheses | |||||||||||
| Ho: | |||||||||||
| Ha: | |||||||||||
| Coefficient hyhpotheses (one to stand for all the separate variables) | |||||||||||
| Ho: | |||||||||||
| Ha: | |||||||||||
| Place B36 in output box. | |||||||||||
| Interpretation: | |||||||||||
| For the Regression as a whole: | |||||||||||
| What is the value of the F statistic: | |||||||||||
| What is the p-value associated with this value: | |||||||||||
| Is the p-value < 0.05? | |||||||||||
| What is your decision: REJ or NOT reject the null? | |||||||||||
| What does this decision mean? | |||||||||||
| For each of the coefficients: | Midpoint | Age | Perf. Rat. | Service | Gender | Degree | |||||
| What is the coefficient’s p-value for each of the variables: | |||||||||||
| Is the p-value < 0.05? | |||||||||||
| Do you reject or not reject each null hypothesis: | |||||||||||
| What are the coefficients for the significant variables? | |||||||||||
| Using the intercept coefficient and only the significant variables, what is the equation? | Compa-ratio = | ||||||||||
| Is gender a significant factor in compa-ratio? | |||||||||||
| Regardless of statistical significance, who gets paid more with all other things being equal? | |||||||||||
| How do we know? | |||||||||||
| 3 | What does regression analysis show us about analyzing complex measures? | ||||||||||
| 4 | Between the lecture results and your results, what else would you like to know | ||||||||||
| before answering our question on equal pay? Why? | |||||||||||
| 5 | Between the lecture results and your results, what is your answer to the question | ||||||||||
| of equal pay for equal work for males and females? Why? | |||||||||||
