23
Q

The Wilkie-Brown and the Soper Scales are likely to:

A

Correlate negatively

Lower scores on one scale seem to correspond with higher scores on the other scale, so this indicates a negative correlation.

24
Q

For the correlation between the Wilkie-Brown and the Soper Scales, N =

A

5

There are 5 scores for each scale. The correlation examines the covariance in these scores, so the N will be 5.

25
Q

What is the r value for the correlation between variables A and B?

A

0.39

26
Q

Which of the following is true about the correlation between variables A and B?

The Pearson’s correlation coefficient is positive and the p-value is less than 0.05.

28
Q

How much variance in variable B can be accounted for by variable A?

A

1%

29
Q

What is the regression equation for the prediction of variable B using variable A?

A

y= 0.68(Variable A) + 5.616
