A researcher hypothesizes that undergraduate students who are satisfied with their lives will sleep less than those who are not satisfied. To test this hypothesis, she selects a sample of undergraduate students and asks them to maintain a “sleep log” (Drowsy, 1977), keeping track of the number of hours they sleep during each 24-hour period. These logs are maintained for two weeks. At the end of the two-week period, each participant completes the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Giggle & Smirk, 1969), a reliable, validated measure of general satisfaction with life.

Reeza, thank you for your previous info you provided with regard to SAS linear regression code. I attempted it but was unsuccessful. Error messages occurred.

If you enter the data the researcher obtained, in the format the researcher provided, i.e. one observation per subject, you will be able to perform your homework regression.

Thank you so very much PG stats. I see now where I made syntax errors. I do appreciate you help very much. Josie

PG STATS,

 

Thank you very much for your assistance with the SAS syntax of the Satisfaction with life problem.

 Could you tell me where I can get any information on analyzing the output of the SAS  problem you assisted me with.

 

I realise that in order to know how to do the problems and to prepare for my final exams, I will need to know how to  answer the specific answers. I have been able to answer quite a few questions regarding the null hypothesis, regression equation etc,. Some questions I am struggling to answer are:

1. 

  1. What is “the predicted mean hours of sleep” for someone with an SWL score of 32? 
  2. What are “the predicted mean hours of sleep” and “the residual” for research participant #7? 
  3. What is the value for regression of sums-of-squares (SSreg)?
  4. What is the value for the standard error of estimate? 
  5. What are the values for coefficients of determination and alienation? 
  6. We would like to test if the proportion of the variance is significantly accounted for by the predictor. What is the null hypothesis? What is the statistic we use to test this hypothesis? What is your decision (reject or fail to reject)
  7. We would also like to test if the slope differs significant from 0. What is the null hypothesis? What is the statistic we use to test this hypothesis? 
  8. Regarding outlier diagnosis, which participants are more likely potential outliers?

Your textbook will give much better answers to these questions than I could, even if I had the time. Good luck with your studies.

Post your log. What errors are you receiving? Your 'question' looks strongly like homework or training so I don't like to answer those questions unless they are very specific. This is my opinion and guidelines only, not the community.
