A. An investigator is interested in predicting scores for a measure of cognitive function from

the number of hours of sleep a person gets on average. She obtains scores for both the
number of hours of sleep and cognitive function from 12 people. Higher scores for
cognitive function reflect higher levels of performance.

Hours of Cognitive
Sleep Function
----- ------
8.1 100
5.4 79
6.1 72
7.4 62
9.0 122
8.5 89
6.4 76
9.4 131
8.7 110
7.6 92
9.3 101
9.2 115
---------------------------

Please use manual calculation to address the following questions:

1. What is the correlation coefficient between the number of hours of sleep and scores on
the measure of cognitive function?
2. Is the correlation coefficient significantly different from zero? What is the significance
level for this test? What conclusion should the investigator draw on the basis of this test?
Please state you conclusion in APA format for reporting a test for the significance of a
correlation coefficient.
 3. What is the squared correlation between the two variables? What information does this
squared correlation provide about the relationship between the two variables?
4. Please provide a scatterplot with the number of hours of sleep on the X-axis and scores
for cognitive function on the Y-axis. Please have SPSS display the regression line within
this scatterplot.

B. Problem for T test

1. An investigator predicts that individuals that fit the Type A Behavior Pattern
(highly competitive and time conscious) will have higher scores on a questionnaire
measure of need for achievement that individuals that fit the Type B Behavior
pattern (absence of Type qualities). The investigator collects need for achievement
scores from 10 Type A subjects and 10 Type B subjects. Higher scores reflect
greater levels of need for achievement. Write the null and alternative hypotheses
for testing this prediction. Please use SPSS to test the null hypothesis stated above.
Please provide a sentence in APA format for a results section that states the
conclusion the investigator is entitled to draw.

Type A Type B
--------- ---------
12 8
10 10
8 5
11 7
15 8
12 5
9 4

a. Formulate the hypothesis and nul hypothesis

b. Determine degree of freedom and level of significance
c. Calculate the value of t
d. Test the hypothesis
