Tutorial 10: Simple Linear Regression

1. The Mathematics scores (X) and Additional Mathematics scores (Y) for 30
students are as shown in the following table.

Mathematics Additional Mathematics Additional

95 90 98 94

By using SPSS, test the hypothesis of whether Mathematics achievement is a

significant predictor of Additional Mathematics achievement at the 0.05 level
of significance.
 2. A researcher wanted to examine whether logical reasoning is a significant
predictor of students’ creativity at the 0.01 level of significance. Based on the
results of the analysis below answer the following questions.
