Refer to the previous exercise about the association between a persons height and their biological fathers height.
Question:
Refer to the previous exercise about the association between a person’s height and their biological father’s height. Recall that the data file DadandChildHeights contains data for students in a statistics class on the following two variables: student’s height (inches) and biological father’s height (inches).
a. Enter the data into the Corr/Regression applet and conduct a simulation-based test of significance. Report the approximate p-value.
b. Interpret the p-value reported in part (a).
c. Summarize your conclusion (significance, causation, generalizability) from this simulation analysis. Also describe the reasoning process by which your conclusion follows from your simulation results.
Data from previous exercise
Refer back to the previous exercise that explores the association between children’s heights and (biological) mothers’ heights. The data file DadandChildHeights contains data for students in a statistics class on the following two variables: student’s height (inches) and biological father’s height (inches). Enter the data into the Corr/Regression applet.
