Q We will keep using the “Basketball regression data” file for this assignment. It has the following variables: Variable Label ID <none> Practice Hours spent practicing Height Height in feet Shots Basketball shots made in a minute 1. What is the correlation between Hours Spent Practicing and Basketball Shots? Is this correlation significantly different from 0? 2. What is the correlation between Height and Basketball Shots? Is this correlation significantly different from 0? Now we will run a multiple regression. Go to Analyze ? Regression ? Linear. In Dependent, enter your DV. In Independent, enter your Height and Practice. Click OK. In the output, go to the Coefficients section. We’ll not be using any of the other sections of the output for today. The “Unstandardized Coefficients” section lists the coefficients and their standard error. The “coefficient” (i.e., just the value) for the constant is listed here also. 3. What is the regression constant (a)? 4. What is the coefficient (b) for the effect of Practice on Shots? Is this significantly different from 0? 5. What is the coefficient (b) for the effect of Height on Shots? Is this significantly different from 0?
