In this assignment you will use a spreadsheet to examine pairs of variables using the method of linear regression to determine if there is any correlation between the variables. Afterwards you will postulate whether this correlation reveals a causal relationship (and why).Click here to open the Excel spreadsheet containing the data for this assignment.This spreadsheet contains the data from a study that attempted to see if there is a correlation between the hours that a student studies and the grade that they earned on a test. The correlation test you are about to run will help you to determine if there is in fact a correlation between study time and test score. If you find a strong correlation then you will postulate whether you feel this indicates a causal relationship.Below are instructions on how to perform this correlation test in Microsoft Excel.In the Excel spreadsheet perform the following operations:To see an example spreadsheet containing a completed analysis click here.Now that you ve completed your analysis and determined the linear regression formula and r2 it now time to report on the results of your study and examine your findings.In a Microsoft Word document respond to the following:For this assignment you will submit a spreadsheet and a report. The spreadsheet will be the Microsoft Excel file containing your scatterplot and analysis. Name your Microsoft Excel file as follows: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.xls.The report will be a Microsoft Word document in which you will address all of the questions in this assignment in the form of a narrative. Name your Microsoft Word document as follows: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.docx.
