**. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).

a. With a Pearson correlation coefficient of r=.426, which is significant at p<0.001, the mean delinquency and
mean overall strain with bullying are perfectly correlated. There is also a very low chance of getting a
correlation this big in the sample if the null hypothesis is true. Therefore, there is a significant relationship
between the mean delinquency and mean strain with bullying. Thus, as the mean overall strain with bullying
increases, there will also be an increase with the mean delinquency.
b. The value shows how much of the variability in the mean delinquency is shared by the mean overall strain with
bullying. This means that the mean delinquency is sharing 18% of the variability in the mean overall strain with
bullying. However, though the mean delinquency is highly correlated with the mean overall strain, there is only
18% of variation in mean overall strain with bullying that can be accounted for. Leaving the 82% of the
variability to be accounted to other variables.
r2= 0.18

c.
d. With a Pearson correlation coefficient of r=.426 and the significance value being less than 0.001, mean
delinquency is positively related with mean overall strain with bullying. Having the Pearson correlation
coefficient of r=.388 at p<0.001, the outpout showed that mean delinquency is positively related to mean anger.
Mean anger increases as mean delinquency increases. Finally, mean overall strain with bullying is also
positively related to mean anger with a Pearson correlation coefficient of .r=.539, p<.001. Mean anger increases
as the mean overall strain with bullying increases.
e. In the given data, the correlation between mean delinquency and mean anger remains constant after adding the
controlling variable of mean anger. Both mean delinquency and mean overall strain with bullying are positively
correlated with mean anger.

a.
Based on the given data, mean parental control is higher for old adolescents (M= 2.541, SE=
0.0256) than to the young adolescents (M= 2.521, SE= 0.0234). The two tailed value of p=.560,
which is greater than 0.05 therefore has no significant difference between the mean of these two
samples. We can say that the level of parental control for young and old adolescents are the same
and are having no difference.

Based on the given data, there is higher mean parental control on females (M=2.587, SE= 0.0238)
than males (M= 2.455, SE= 0.0247). In this case, the two tailed value of p=.000, which is less
than 0.05 means that there is a statistically significant difference between the mean of these two
samples. We can say that the level of parental control for young and old adolescents are the same

a. In the given data, the significance level of mean delinquency based on grade level is 0.000
(p=0.000) which below 0.05. Therefore, there is a statistical significance difference in the mean
delinquency based on grade level. However, the significance of mean delinquency based on the
district is .794 (p=.794) which is above 0.05. Therefore, there is no statistical significance
difference of mean delinquency based on district.
