Material Detail

Created by David B. Howell of the University of Vermont, this correlation and regression example compares performance on reading comprehension questions to performance on the SAT. It also compares those who read the passage referred to by the questions to those who did not. The author provides a detailed examination of the topic and then follows it up with the actual data sets behind the problem. The exercise also presents questions and the subsequent answers are also provided. This is an interesting case study which allows students to explore the workings of applied statistical research.
