Questions and Answers

Which assumption is critical when conducting correlation analysis?

  • The relationship between the two variables must be linear. (correct)
  • Both variables must be categorical.
  • Both variables should be normally distributed.
  • The sample size must always be greater than 50.
  • What is the purpose of the coefficient of determination in regression analysis?

  • To calculate the slope of the regression line.
  • To assess the normality of residuals in the regression analysis.
  • To predict future values of the independent variable.
  • To determine how well the regression model explains variations in the dependent variable. (correct)
  • In the context of estimating population proportion, what does the margin of error represent?

  • The range of values within which the sample mean will fall.
  • The maximum difference allowed between the sample proportion and the true population proportion. (correct)
  • The number of samples required to achieve a desired confidence level.
  • The percentage of samples that will yield similar results when repeated.

    Study Notes

    Assumptions in Correlation Analysis

    • Linearity: assumes a linear relationship between the variables being analyzed
    • Homoscedasticity: assumes that the variance of the residuals is constant across all values of the independent variable.
    • Independence: assumes that each data point is independent of other data points.

    Purpose of the Coefficient of Determination

    • Represents the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that is explained by the independent variable.
    • Provides a measure of how well the regression model fits the data.

    Margin of Error in Estimating Population Proportion

    • Measures the potential difference between a sample proportion and the true population proportion
    • Accounts for the uncertainty associated with using a sample to estimate a population parameter.

    Significance of Correlation Using t-test

    • Tests the null hypothesis that there is no correlation between the variables.
    • Determines if the observed correlation is statistically significant or likely due to chance.

    Qualitative Data Analysis Software

    • NVivo - specifically designed for qualitative data analysis and helps researchers manage, analyze, and interpret qualitative data.
