I. Instruction: Analyze the data set below. Perform what is asked as accurate and
comprehensive as possible. Place your answers in A4-sized document. Likewise, attach your
solutions (written or in excel file) in the submission tab.

In research that aims to determine the correlation between one’s professional work
standard and their level of success in projects, twelve (12) reputed head architects and
senior engineers participated. The table below shows their responses to the scale on work
satisfaction and scale on level of success. In the two survey instruments given, 10 means
high work standard or high level of success in project. Conversely, 1 means low work
standard or low level of success in projects.

A) Illustrate the data set using scatter plot. (5 pts.)

(Plotted on excel file.)

CORRELATION BETWEEN ONE’S PROFESSIONAL WORK STANDARD

AND THEIR LEVEL OF SUCCESS IN PROJECTS

LEVEL OF SUCCESS

PROFESSIONAL WORK STANDARD

B) Determine the correlation coefficient (r), rounded to two decimal places, between the
level of professional work standard and level of success in project among the participants.

(∑x)^2 = (85)^2 = 7225
(∑y)^2 = (73)^2 = 5329

r = 0.79
The r value is around 0.79, which is close to 0.8 and signifies a strong correlation.

Additionally, projects become more successful.
C) Find the equation of the regression line for the given data. Round the values of m and b
to the nearest hundredths place. (7 pts.)

The slope of the regression makes sense with a positive correlation coefficient.
The line is up. An upward slope on the line denotes a favorable association.
