In this activity, we will investigate whether or not Average Teacher's Salary, Pupil/Teacher Ratio, and Expenditure per Student have a statistically significant correlation with Completion Rate in the United States. You will complete 1-12 for EACH of the three'x' variables. Excel functions for r, m and b should be entered in the table. 1. Use Excel to produce a scatterplot of the data. 2. Include a chart title and a title for thex and y axis. 3. Based on the scatterplot, does there appear to be a linear relationship between the two variables? 4. Insert the linear trendline on your scatterplot. 5. Do the variables appear to have a positive or negative correlation? 6. Use Excel to calculate the correlation coefficient to two decimal places. 7. Using the critical value table, is r significant at the.05 level? 8. Use Excel to calculate the slopem to six decimal places. 9. Use Excel to calculate the y-intercept b to two decimal places. 10. Use the slope and y-intercept to type out the regression line equation. 11. Go back to your scatterplot and insert the regression line equation on your scatterplot. ***If you calculated m and b correctly in #8 and 9, your regression line equation in #10 should match the regression line equation on your scatterplot. 12. Based on your answer to 7, should we use the regression line to make predictions? Explain Final Question (answer after 1-12 have been completed for all three 'x' variables): Assume all three calculated regression lines coud be used to make predictions. Would it be acceptable use the regression lines along with an average teacher's salary, pupil/teacher ratio, or expenditure per student from a province in Canada to predict completion rate for the year 2018-2019?
