Task A: Report (18%) The research team at a large Melbourne based company has hypothesised that workers who take less time to travel to work each day will generally be more satisfied with their work life. Use the data from the Assignment 1 data file (SAV 9 KB) (https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download?wrap=1) (https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download? download_frd=1) file to investigate this hypothesis. Write a brief report on your results, including an appropriate hypothesis test. Quote all relevant statistics and appendix relevant output. In addition, refer to the following notes: Note 1: Assume all assumptions have been met. Note 2: Check the marking rubric to see how this question is graded. Note 3: The report should be written in APA format. Task B: Multiple regression (18%) In a follow-up study, the researchers decided to investigate the factors that affect the number of years participants in their sample of Australian adults are employed at a company. The researchers included the following predictors in their model: work satisfaction, years of tertiary education and sex. Using the Assignment 1 data file (SAV 9 KB) (https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download?wrap=1) (https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download? https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download?wrap=1 https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download?download_frd=1 https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download?wrap=1 https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download?download_frd=1 10/08/2021 Assignment 2: Workbook assignment part 1 tasks: Analysis of Variance and Regression https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/pages/assignment-2-workbook-assignment-part-1-tasks 3/6 download_frd=1) , run a multiple regression to address this scenario and answer the following questions: From the raw correlations table, which of the predictors were significantly related to the dependent variable? Quote relevant statistics. Give the regression equation for the number of years spent working for a company (to two decimal places). Use the regression equation to predict the number of years spent working for a company for a male who has a work satisfaction score of 40 and 4 years of tertiary education. Interpret the partial regression coefficient for work satisfaction. What was the most important predictor in this regression? Quote relevant statistics. When all of the predictors are taken into account, what predictors contributed significantly to the multiple regression? Quote relevant statistics. Is the value of Multiple R significant? What does this tell us? Quote relevant statistics. How much of the variation in the number of years spent working for a company can be explained by this linear model? In addition, consider the following notes: Note 1: Assume all assumptions have been met. Note 2: When quoting relevant statistics, use APA format. Note 3: Check the marking rubric to see how this question is graded. Task C: Error identification (18%) In a follow-up study, the researchers decided to investigate the factors that affect annual income for their sample of office workers. The researchers included the following predictors into their model: age, years of tertiary education and sex. The researchers hypothesised that: People with more years of tertiary education will have higher annual incomes. Older people will have higher annual incomes. Males will have higher annual incomes than females. Using the data from the Assignment 1 data file (SAV 9 KB) (https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download?wrap=1) (https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download? download_frd=1) , the researchers have provided a report to address these research hypotheses. Section 1 https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download?download_frd=1 https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download?wrap=1 https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/files/2251844/download?download_frd=1 10/08/2021 Assignment 2: Workbook assignment part 1 tasks: Analysis of Variance and Regression https://swinburneonline.instructure.com/courses/3012/pages/assignment-2-workbook-assignment-part-1-tasks 4/6 A study was conducted to explore factors affecting the annual income of workers from a Melbourne-based company. The researchers proposed that people with more years of tertiary education would have higher annual incomes. They also suggested that older people would have higher annual incomes. Finally, they suggested that males would have higher annual incomes than females. A multiple regression was performed on this data with income as the dependent variable. Three predictors were included in the model: age, years of tertiary education and sex (male/female). The intercorrelations between the variables are given in Table 1, and the regression statistics are given in Table 2.

longer significant (see table 2). the correlation between age and income can be explained in terms of years of tertiary education. older people tended to have more years of tertiary education and people with more years of tertiary education tended to have higher annual incomes. the most important predictor of income in this model was years of tertiary education. people with more years of tertiary education tended to have higher annual incomes. section 4 as expected, years of tertiary education had an indirect effect on income, with more years of tertiary education resulting in higher annual incomes. also, as expected, older people also tend to have higher incomes, but only because they have more years of tertiary education. contrary to expectations, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that the sex of a person has an effect on their income. question identify one error in each section (there can be more than one) and comment on what should have been written instead (you will have to run an analysis on the data yourself to check). note: the error that you need to identify in each section is not associated with apa format or grammatical errors. task d: report (46%) suppose researchers were also interested in investigating the factors that affect work satisfaction for their sample of office workers. the researchers included the following predictors into their model: annual income, number of years working at a company, travel time and load (part-time/full-time). the researchers hypothesised that: people with higher incomes will be more satisfied with work. full-time workers will be more satisfied with their work than part-time workers. people who have spent more time at their current job will be more satisfied with work. using the data provided from the

ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE AND REGRESSION
Name: [Your Name]
Student ID: [Your ID number]
TASK A
Introduction: We are given the data set of the employees. There are many variables in the data set. The research team at a large Melbourne based company has hypothesised t
hat workers
who take less time to travel to work each day will generally be more satisfied with their work life.
Here, we are interested only on two variables. Those two variables are the Travel time and Satisf.
The level of measurement of the two variables are Interval scale for Satisf variable because the data is taken on a particular interval between 0 to 80 and the Travel time is measured on Ratio scale.
Question of interest: Here, the research team at a large Melbourne based company has hypothesised that workers who take less time to travel to work each day will generally be more satisfied with their work life. Thus, this question is based on the correlation analysis. That we need to check that both the variables are negatively correlated to each other.
It is mentioned that the assumptions are satisfied but we will cross check the most important assumption of correlation analysis i.e., the linear relationship. For this we will use the scatter plot and plot the values on it. We will assume Travel time as our explanatory variable and Satisfaction score as the response variable.
Let be the population correlation coefficient. The hypotheses are given as follows:
There is no correlation between travel time and satisfaction score i.e., .
There is a significant negative correlation between travel time and satisfaction score i.e., .
The correlation analysis is conducted using the SPSS and the correlation coefficient calculated between two variables is -0.488 and the corresponding p-value is 0. Thus, the p-value is less than the level of significance 0.05. hence, the null hypothesis is rejected and we concluded that there is a significant negative correlation between these two variables. Hence, we support the claim of the researcher that the workers who take less time to travel to work each day will generally be more satisfied with their work life.
