Question:
Psychology 2--Statistical Methods for Psychology & Social Science Dr. Jeff S. Topping Project for Unit 3 In this Project, I want you to survey 13 people (all 18 years of age or older). Ask all 13 people 2 questions (that you create) and be sure that both questions require a numerical answer on an interval and/or ratio scale of measurement. Remember: we are trying to see if there is a significant relationship between the answers on these 2 questions. Feel free to send me your 2 possible questions for approval. All people get the same 2 questions. Try to use questions from 2 different "areas" of life; e.g., "On the average, how many hours a night do you watch TV?" and "On the average, how many times a week do you go to Starbucks?" Once you have surveyed exactly 13 people, answer the 8 items on the next page. Send me your answers as a reply to one of my Psychology 2 messages and be sure to number your answers. MOST IMPORTANT: BE SURE to keep each person's two scores on the same line when you calculate Pearson r. DO NOT put the scores in numerical order. ROUND OFF ALL DECIMALS TO 2 DECIMAL PLACES AS SOON AS THEY OCCUR. Remember, DO NOT send me your calculations, JUST THE ANSWERS. DO NOT send any attachments, pictures, or screenshots.
When you send me your 8 answers, please also list your 2 questions (see the format below) and your individual X and Y "scores" (answers) for the 13 people (see below) so that I can verify your answers. You must keep each person's 2 scores on the same line. DO NOT send X2, Y2, or XY please.
Question #1 (X)--- Question #2 (Y)---
X Y
x y x y x y x y x y x y x y x y x y x y x y x y x y
YOUR PROJECT WILL NOT BE GRADED UNLESS YOU USE EXACTLY 13 PEOPLE and send me the individual scores on X and on Y of all 13 people as shown above.
Use the formula below for Pearson r and only this formula.
