PSYC 201 - Correlation and regression practice problemsPSYC 201 - Correlation and regression practice problems 1. An investigator has determined that the correlation between measures of anxiety and depression is +.45. There are 42 people in the sample. a. What is the proportion of overlap between the two variables? b. Are the investigators justified in saying that the correlation of +.45 is significantly different from zero? Please provide the critical value for r as part of a decision rule for knowing whether or not to reject the null hypothesis. Please report the result of this test inAPA format.2. An investigator obtains scores for job satisfaction and blood pressure from each of 10 employees. Higher scores for job satisfaction reflect higher levels of job satisfaction. a. To what extent do the two variables overlap in terms of the information they provide? b. Is the correlation between the two variables significantly different from zero? Based on this information what conclusion are you entitled draw about the relationship between thetwo variables? Please report the results for this test in APA format. c. Please provide a scatterplot with the systolic BP on the X-axis and scores for job satisfaction on the Y-axis. Job Systolic Satisfaction BP --------------- --------- 34 124 23 128 19 157 43 133 56 116 47 125 32 147 16 167 55 110 25 1563. An investigator is interested in the relationship between levels of stress at work and self-reports of overall health. The researcher conducts a study with 102 participants and determines that the Pearson correlation coefficient between self-reported levels of job stress and self-reports of overall heath is +.41. a. Are the investigators justified in saying that there is a significant relationship between these two variables? Please provide the critical value for r as part of a decision rule for knowing whether or not to reject the null hypothesis. Please report the result of this test in APA format for testing the significance of a correlation coefficient.b. What is the squared correlation between the two variables? What information does this squared correlation provide about the relationship between the two variables?4. An investigator is interested in predicting scores for a measure of cognitive function from the number of hours of sleep a person gets on average. She obtains scores for both the number of hours of sleep and cognitive function from 12 people. Higher scores for cognitive function reflect higher levels of performance. Hours of Cognitive Sleep Function ----- ------ 8.1 100 5.4 79 6.1 72 7.4 62 9.0 122 8.5 89 6.4 76 9.4 131 8.7 110 7.6 92 9.3 101 9.2 115 ---------------------------Please use SPSS to address the following questions:1. What is the correlation coefficient between the number of hours of sleep and scores on the measure of cognitive function? 2. Is the correlation coefficient significantly different from zero? What is the significance level for this test? What conclusion should the investigator draw on the basis of this test? Please state you conclusion in APA format for reporting a test for the significance of a correlation coefficient.3. What is the squared correlation between the two variables? What information does this squared correlation provide about the relationship between the two variables?4. Please provide a scatterplot with the number of hours of sleep on the X-axis and scores for cognitive function on the Y-axis. Please have SPSS display the regression line within this scatterplot.Answers1.a. The proportion of overlap between the two variables is .2025.b. Decision rule: If r <= -.304 or if r >= +.304, reject HO. A significant correlation between anxiety and depression was observed, r (40) = +.45, p < .05.2.a. r2 = .719b. Yes. The correlation between job satisfaction and systolic blood pressure is significantly different from zero, r (8) = -.848, p < .05.3. a. Yes. Decision rule: If r <= -.304 or if r >= +.304, reject HO. Conclusion sentence: A significant correlation between stress at work and overall health was observed, r (100) = +.41, p < .05.b. R2 = .1681. The two variables overlap in terms of the information they provide to the extent of 16.81%.4. a. r = .802.b. Yes. p = .002. A significant correlation between the number of hours of sleep and cognitive function was observed, r (10) - .802, p =
