2: Was multiple regression analysis the appropriate analysis technique to conduct in the Franck et al. (2014) study? Provide a rationale for your answer.
Answer: .
3: Was the independent variable length of hospital stay significantly correlated with the dependent variable parental PTSS? Provide a rationale for your answer.
Answer: .
4: Was the independent variable depression significantly correlated with parental PTSS in this study? Provide a rationale for your answer.
Answer: .
5: What is multicollinearity? Why is it important to test for multicollinearity? Is there a potential for multicollinearity in this study?
