Question

Answer for Question 2, Parts A, B, and C.

1) A researcher wants to know whether the number of hours students spent on social networking sites
(e.g., Facebook, Instagram) is correlated with how long they study for final exams.
The researchers asks 5 students at UCI to report their scores on these two continuous variables:
Time on Social Networking Sites Time Spent Studying for Finals
(hours)
2
5
7
3
9
(hours)
10
5
4
8
a) Create a scatter diagram for this correlation with Time on Social Networking Sites
along the x-axis.
b) Describe the pattern of the data points in terms of the strength and direction
of the correlation.
2) The researcher now wants to know whether the number of hours students spend on social networking
sites predicts how much time they study for final exams:
a) Draw a regression line on the scatter diagram reflecting the prediction rule:
Y = 10.30.88(X)
b) What is the predicted amount of time spent studying if a student spends no time
on social networking sites?
c) How should the regression coefficient be interpreted?
