Data Analysis: Hypothesis Testing
Use the Sun Coast Remediation data set to conduct a correlation analysis, simple
regression analysis, and multiple regression analysis using the correlation tab, simple regression
tab, and multiple regression tab respectively. The statistical output tables should be cut and
pasted from Excel directly into the final project document. For the regression hypotheses, display
and discuss the predictive regression equations if the models are statistically significant. Delete
instructions and examples highlighted in yellow before submitting this assignment.
Correlation: Hypothesis Testing
Restate the hypotheses from document uploaded (ref:
29005302WK093921NResearchObjective.docx)
Example:
Ho1: There is no statistically significant relationship between height and weight.
Ha1: There is a statistically significant relationship between height and weight.
Enter data output results from Excel Toolpak here.
Interpret and explain the correlation analysis results below the Excel output. Your
explanation should include: r, r2, alpha level, p value, and rejection or acceptance of the null
hypothesis and alternative hypothesis.
Example:
3
The Pearson correlation coefficient of r = .600 indicates a moderately strong positive
correlation. This equates to an r2 of .36, explaining 36% of the variance between the variables.
Using an alpha of .05, the results indicate a p value of .023 < .05. Therefore, the null
hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis is accepted that there is a statistically
significant relationship between height and weight.
Note: Excel data analysis Toolpak does not automatically calculate the p value when using the
correlation function. As a workaround, the data should also be run using the regression function.
The Multiple R is identical to the Pearson r in simple regression, R Square is shown, and the p
value is generated. Be sure to show your results using both the correlation function and simple
regression function.
Simple Regression: Hypothesis Testing
Restate the hypotheses from document uploaded (ref:
Ho2:
Ha2:
Enter data output results from Excel Toolpak here.
Interpret and explain the simple regression analysis results below the Excel output. Your
explanation should include: multiple R, R squared, alpha level, ANOVA F value, accept or reject
the null and alternative hypotheses for the model, statistical significance of the x variable
coefficient, and the regression model as an equation with explanation.
Multiple Regression: Hypothesis Testing
Restate the hypotheses from from document uploaded (ref:
