Table 1: Relationship between time on the Internet (netcat) and gender (sex)
Interpretation: We can see from the table that there is a negative relationship between the
variables netcat and sex.

Table 2: Relationship between time on the Internet (netcat) and gender (sex) when control for
education
Interpretation: When we control for education, we can find a change in the magnitude of
relationship between the variables netcat and sex. But there is no change in terms of direction
of relationship. We got the value of r = -0.067 without controlling for education,
demonstrating the negative correlation between the variables Internet (variable netcat) and
gender (variable sex). The value of r = -0.053 obtained by correcting for education, however,
also demonstrates the negative correlation between gender (variable sex) and internet use
(variable netcat).

Interpretation:
(i) 54.9 percentages of males under 30 years of age uses the Internet. 45.1 percentages of
females under 30 years of age uses the Internet.

netcat) for men and women

Figure-2: Histogram for ADDSC

Interpretation: The histogram for the ADDSC variable shows the values are on the
horizontal

3
axis and frequencies are on the vertical axis. From the histogram, it is clear that the ADDSC
is
approximately normally distributed.

Section-ii (b)

Figure-3: Boxplot for ADDSC

Figure-4: Box plot for ADDSC with and without social problems

Interpretation: According to the above Box plot, the median value of addsc for those who
have no social problems (nearly 45.0) is lower than for those who have social problems
(above 60.0). This plot also shows that ADDSC is positively skewed with social problems
and negatively skewed with social problems. In both distributions, there is no outlier.

Figure–5: Scatter plot for the relationship between ADD symptoms and GPA
Interpretation: The graph clearly shows a negative linear relationship between ADD
symptoms and GPA.

Section-ii (e)

Figure–7: Bar chart for the mean GPA of students in the 3 types of English classes

Interpretation: From the above figure, it is clear that all of the English classes do not appear
to be similar i.e., they appear to be different. Class-1 holds the highest position accounting for
3.09 followed by class-2 and class-3.

Section-ii (f)

Figure–8: Bar chart and a line graph for the mean difference in GPA based on both gender
and level of English class

6
Interpretation: By comparing the distribution, female has better mean gpa than male. The
first
category of class is found to be the best among 3 classes. So, both gender and English class
have positive effects on GPA. In this case, I prefer line graph because it show both better
performers and the direction of linearity. In addition, line graph is most useful for showing
trends and for identifying whether two variables are related to one another.

Now, to see if there is an interaction effect, we need to run the generalized univariate linear
model which is given below:

There is no interaction effect of gender and type of class on mean gpa.
