Overview
Chapter 17: Data Set 1 contains the data for a group of participants who took a timed test. The data are the average amount of time the participants took on each item (Response Time) and the number of guesses it took to get each item correct (Number Correct).
- What is the regression equation for predicting Response Time from Number Correct? Use the SLOPE and INTERCEPT functions to create the equation. (Worksheet 1)
What is the predicted Response Time (Y variable) if the Number Correct is 8? (Worksheet 1)
What is the difference between the predicted and the actual Response Time for each of the Number Correct scores, and what is the standard error of estimate or prediction? (Worksheet 1). Use How to Perform Simple Linear Regression in Excel: You can go on www.toptipbio.com to see the video examples
- Using the following data, test the question of whether an equal number (hypothesized proportion) of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents voted during the most recent election. Test the hypothesis at the .05 level of significance.
Political Affiliation Observed
- Republican
- Democrat
- Independent
800
700
- 900
