Mathematics Homework Help

For this Assignment, you will examine correlation and bivariate regression testing.

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and media program      related to regression and correlation.
• Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset      or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found      in the Learning Resources for this week.
• Based on the dataset you chose, construct a research      question that can be answered with a Pearson correlation and bivariate      regression.
• Once you perform your correlation and bivariate      regression analysis, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand      how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

For this Assignment:

Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your correlation and bivariate regression results for each research question. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES. Do not forget to evaluate if the correlation and bivariate regression assumptions are met and report the effect size. In your analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.

Use proper APA format, citations, and referencing for your analysis, research question, and display of output.
