Chapter Eight: Multivariate Analysis Crosstabs Revisited Simple crosstabs, which examine the influence of one variable on another, should be only the first step in the analysis of social science data (refer to Chapter Five). It is fun to hypothesize that the more conservative a person's political orientation the more likely they are to oppose abortion, then run the crosstabs, and then conclude you were right. However, this one step method of hypothesis testing is very limited. What if all

• Regression analysis represents the relationships between variables in the form of equations, which can be used to predict the values of a dependent variable on the basis of values of one or more independent variables • Regression equations are computed on the basis of a regression line: the geometric line representing, with the least amount of discrepancy, the actual location of points in a scattergram. • Types of regression analysis include linear regression analysis, multiple regression

Correlation Correlation is a statistical technique that can show whether and how strongly pairs of variables are related. For example, height and weight are related; taller people tend to be heavier than shorter people. The relationship isn't perfect. People of the same height vary in weight, and you can easily think of two people you know where the shorter one is heavier than the taller one. Nonetheless, the average weight of people 5'5'' is less than the average weight of people 5'6'', and their

eliminate labor hours because costs seem to remain at the same level with higher levels of factory overhead output. The trend line suggests that labor hours as cost drivers are fixed and linear, meaning that they do not accurately predict or describe total factory overhead costs. C) We create a scatter plot before a regression analysis so that we are able to visualize the data and ensure that the cost driver has an effect on total cost. We get a basic picture of this relationship and are able to make qualitative

$12.26+5x$2.79=$26.21 e) This is a simple regression (single input variable) and chapter 15 gave an explicit formula for the slope estimate. The equation for slope is [pic] and we know this equals 2.787. We also know that the standard deviation of expenditure is 14.064 and of number is 1.828. Solving for the correlation gives the answer 0.362. For simple regression, you can calculate the slope from the correlation or visa-versa. For multiple regression, it is the partial correlations that are
