Question

dependents (children or others who live with you and require your care) tend to miss more classes. You collect data on a random sample of n 102 NSC students (taking the same number of credit hours) using a survey that asks them how many classes they missed last semester and how many dependents they have living with them. Based on the data, you compute the correlation coefficient and regression equation below. You also find that both are statistically significant (a .05). Correlation: r = .70 Regression Equation: -.90X.30 Based on the correlation coefficient above, what is the strength (i.e., weak, moderate, or strong) of the correlation, and direction (positive or negative) of the correlation between missed classes and number of dependents? Strong Positive Moderate Positive O Weak Positive Strong Negative Moderate Negative Weak Negative

Explanation / Answer

The relationship is a moderate relationship between the dependent and independent variables
