1040 Group Project By: Andrew, Angela, Alex, Seph and Cailey
Study Design: Is a person’s age related to how many hours of sleep they receive each night Conducted a systematic random sampling of individuals Surveyed adults to find their age and the average number of sleep hours and minuets they are currently receiving Compared both sets of data to find a possible correlation Explanatory Variable: Age Response Variable: Hours
Data Converted
Boxplots There are Lurking variables with age data, 2 outliers, This is not normal.
• Points are distributed all over the graph• They do not decrease/increase along with the least squares regression line• Simply by looking at the scatterplot, there is no major indication of correlation between Age and Hours. Scatterplot
Testing for Correlation The critical value for a correlation coefficient for a sample size of 49 is 0.279 Correlation between Age and Hours is: -0.16564344 The correlation coefficient is not at least as high as the critical value.
