a. Dependent Variable: How much time do you spend watching TV per week (in hours)?

1. Is the model good (statistically significant)? Write a sentence, using the proper format, describing the results of the ANOVA test.

The model is statistically significant as there is moderate correlation between how much time a student studies and how much time a student spends watching TV, as R = .397, p < 0.05.

2. Would it be appropriate to report the value of R-squared in the Model Summary? Why or why not? If yes, report and interpret. If no, write N/A.

Yes, it is meaningful at slightly less than 16% but it is not a great predictor. R-squared = .158.

3. Is time spent studying a statistically significant predictor of time spent watching TV according to the coefficients box? Write a sentence, using the proper format, describing the results.

Yes, the standardized beta is .397, p < 0.05 and is statistically significant.

4. Look at the b coefficient. By how much would we predict time spent watching TV to change for every 1 hour increase in time spent studying? Will it increase or decrease by this amount?

.878 hours increase

Task 2. Run a linear regression of time spent studying and time spent working (Study and Work; independents) predicting time spent watching TV (TV; dependent). Copy and paste...

To investigate these, each explanatory variable can be used in isolation to determine their specific impact upon the crime rate. The research can be conducted by first conducting an investigation of existing literature and statistics to determine the likelihood of each variable. Values can then be assigned to each variable to indicate the greatest to least likelihood. Qualitative research can then be conducted regarding the greatest likelihood of each explanatory variable.

The research question is whether recent positive performance in the sport has a bearing on ball size perception. In other words, when players have been hitting well, do they perceive the ball as being bigger and therefore easier
