SPSS Data Analysis
Does the number of average study hours per week during the semester accurately predict final exam grades? The overall average of hours studied per week was M = 12.25, but the middle and most common values were Mdn = 11.00 and Mode = 10, respectively. The minimum and maximum average of hours studied per week was 4 and 22 hours, respectively, so the measures of central tendency suggest most students were clumped at middle of the frequency distribution.
Independent variable: average number of study hours per week.
Hours is continuous data because it can take on any value below 168 hours, which is the number of hours in a week. Even though the data is reported in integer form the 'hours' data is continuous.
Hours data is quantitative, since it can be summed, divided, and multiplied.
Hours data is ratio data because it has a natural zero point. For example, the range of hours that a student can theoretically study per week is between zero and 168 hours.
Hours is a predictor variable, because it is believed/assumed to influence the outcome of the study.
Dependent variable: Final exam score.
Final exam scores is a discrete variable as reported, although it could be a continuous variable with a value anywhere between zero and 100.
Exam scores are quantitative, because it can be added, divided and multiplied.
iii. Exam scores is ratio data because it has a natural zero point.
iv. Since exam scores is the outcome variable, it is also the criterion variable for statistical tests like linear regression.
The frequency distribution had a Range = 18, with a minimum and maximum average of 4 and 22 hours, respectively. The average dispersion around the mean was SD = 5.389. Together, the range and standard deviation reveal a wide frequency distribution around the mean and considerable variability in the average number of hours studied per week. With a skewness value of 0.177 the frequency distribution is shifted slightly in favor of lower hours studied per week by most students, but there were a few overachievers that averaged a high number of hours per week.
Correlation
A good way to view possible relationships between the independent and dependent variable is the scatterplot. When average hours studied per week is plotted against final exam scores using a scatterplot it becomes apparent that there is a linear and positive relationship. However, to determine the strength of this…

Leadership Effectiveness Inventory Data Reliability Analysis After collecting data from the Nordic questionnaires, a reliability test was carried out to ascertain whether the nine scales used could predict overall satisfaction with the manager as a leader. The analysis found the scales reliable and moreover, it was apparent that reducing the questions in the questionnaires could not compromise data reliability. In addition, communication, planning/execution and teamwork were proved to be the best predictors
Over 250 respondents reported working 40 hours, with the next highest frequency being under 100. Number of Siblings The histogram for the number of siblings shows a negatively skewed data set, with more participants reporting fewer siblings. However, the range in this variable was quite high, ranging from 0 to 22 siblings. The mean response was 3.71 siblings, the median response was 3 siblings and the mode of the sample was
244, p = .000. Men had an average rank of 852.94 hours, while women had an average rang of 632.24 hours, indicating that on average, women worked fewer hours than men, in this sample. 4.

Compare your results from those from a parametric analysis. Summarize the conclusion. A Kruskal-Wallis test
Crosstabs would be used to test this association. There is a significant correlation between the education of a mother and a daughter (r = .474, p < .01). e. Does Belief in Life After Death impact one's happiness in their marriage? Belief in life after death would be the Independent Variable and Happiness in one's marriage would be the Dependent Variable. Crosstabs would be used to test this association. 83.8% of

The report provides the findings for the HR (human resources) issues after carrying out the data analysis of employee's data. The outcome of the analysis reveals that workers between 25 and 55 years of age form the largest percentage of employees in
