INSTRUCTION:
Use this Word document to fill in the answers to the questions. The answers must be supported either
by typing out the calculation process or by pasting SPSS output or data as instructed. When prompted
to paste something from the SPSS data or output file, you may use the copy/paste function or take a
screen shot of the relevant part to paste in as a picture.
Q1. Perform and Interpret a Bivariate Linear Regression (9 points total, if SPSS output file is
missing for this analysis, 50% of the total number of earned points will be deducted)
This data set contains cognitive function scores and demographics from a group of older
adults. The focus of this question set is the executive function (Executive). Create an SPSS
data file by importing the Q1Q2 data. Configure the “measure” for each variable.
A . Perform exploratory bivariate correlations in SPSS.
1. Perform bivariate (Pearson’s) correlations among all the variables in the data set. Paste the
correlation matrix (table) here. (1 point for the table)

2. Report the correlation result in APA format (including r and p) for each of the following
pairs of variables: (1.5 points: .5 for each correlation, both r and p must be correct to earn .5 point)
Education and Executive:
Education and executive function scores were found to be moderately, positively correlated,
r(48) = .275 , p = .053.
MMSE and Executive:
MMSE and executive function scores were found to be significantly, moderately, positively
correlated, r(48) = .282 , p = .048.
Age and Executive:
Age and executive function scores were found to be slightly negatively correlated, r(48) = -.123 ,
p = .396.
B. Perform a bivariate (simple) linear regression.
The regression model should contain the following:
Outcome variable - Executive
Predictor - Variable with the strongest correlation with Executive (regardless of direction)
1. Create a scatter plot between the predictor variable (X axis) and outcome variable (Y axis).
Make sure the scatter plot has labels for the X and Y axes. Paste the scatter plot here.
(1 point: Deduct .5 for each error up to a total of 1. No point is earned is the graph is not pasted here. )

2. Perform the bivariate regression analysis in SPSS. Report the omnibus test result in APA
style on the regression model, including F, p, and adjusted R2. Be sure to paste the relevant
output tables here to support your answer. (1.5 points: .5 for each statistic, both value and APA format
must be correct to earn the credit for each statistic. No credit is earned if no table is pasted.)

a. Dependent Variable: Executive
b. Predictors: (Constant), MMSE
A bivariate regression analysis was conducted to examine how well the regression model
predicts the executive functioning. The omnibus F ANOVA test results above indicate that the
regression model predicts the executive scores significantly well, F(1,49) = 4.133, p = .048,
Adjusted R2 = .060.
3. Discuss the regression result. Is the null hypothesis rejected? What does the result mean?
(1 point: .5 for each answer)
The null hypothesis for a regression analysis is that the predictions generated by the model are
no closer to the actual values than you could expect by chance. For this specific research, the
null hypothesis is that there is no significant correlation between MMSE scores and executive
functioning scores.
Results from the analyses performed above indicate that there is sufficient evidence to reject
the null hypothesis, and therefore conclude that the variables of MMSE scores and executive
functioning scores share a significant association.

4. Report the coefficient test on the predictor variable in APA format, including t and p. Be
sure to paste the relevant output tables if they have not been pasted above.
