Predict the expected points based on the number of hours studying per week.

Research question: What is the prediction of the expected points based on the number of hours
studying per week?

H0: There is no significant linear relationship between the number of hours studying per week and the
expected points; the slope is equal to zero.

H1: There is a significant linear relationship between the number of hours studying per week and the
expected points; the slope is not equal to zero.

a. Dependent Variable: Points expected

Decision:
a. Since p = 0.855, the H0 is not rejected.
b. Since r = 0, the H0 is not rejected.
c. Since F(1,35) = 0.034 the H0 is not rejected.
Conclusion:

A linear regression established that the number of hours a person spends on studying per week
does not statistically significantly predict their points they will get on an exam, F(1,35) = 0.034, p = 0.855
and 1% of the explained variability in a person’s expected points they get on an exam was due to the
outcome of the number of hours they spend on studying per week.. No regression equation could be
made since the number of hours a person spends on studying per week could not the points they will
get on an exam.
 Predict the outcome of an employee’s job performance test based on the outcomes of their
IQ test, job motivation test, and social support test.

Research question: What is the prediction of the outcome of an employee’s job performance test based
on the outcomes of their IQ test, job motivation test, and social support test?

H0: There is no significant linear relationship between the outcome of an employee’s job performance
test based on the outcomes of their IQ test, job motivation test, and social support test; the slope is
equal to zero.

H1: There is a significant linear relationship between the outcome of an employee’s job performance
test based on the outcomes of their IQ test, job motivation test, and social support test; the slope is not
equal to zero.

Variables:

Dependent Variable: Employee’s outcome of their job performance test

Independent Variable: Employee’s outcome of their IQ test

Employee’s outcome of their job motivation test

Employee’s outcome of their social support test

b. Since r ≠ 0 the H0 is rejected
c. Since + 2.76 < 35.356 and -35.356 < - 2.76, the H0 is rejected.

Conclusion:

A linear regression established that an employee’s outcomes of their IQ test, job motivation
test, and social support test could statistically significantly predict the outcome of their job performance
test, F(3,56) = 2.76, p ≤ 0.05 and 65.4% of the explained variability in an employee’s outcome of their job
performance test was due to their outcomes of their IQ, job motivation, and social support tests. The
regression equation was: predicted employee job performance outcome = 18.13 + (0 .265 x outcome of IQ
test ) + ( 0.308 x outcome of job motivation test ) + (0.164 x outcome of social support test ).
