CASE STUDY 1 – CORRELATION AND BIVARIATE REGRESSION TEMPLATE
Instructions: To successfully complete this case study, all of the following instructions must be
adhered to. Only paste tables/figures that contain pertinent information. Only paste tables/
figures where you are instructed to do so. Highlight (in yellow) only relevant data from tables; as
well as your response to each question. In the write-up section, all information must be provided
in paragraph format. When statistical values are discussed, the numerical value must be given
and a reference must be made to the table(s)/figure(s) where the value(s) can be found. An
example of this is “heart rate was statistically greater during running versus cycling (189 vs. 143
bpm) as indicated in Table 1.”
I. Correlation
Research question: “Is mean heart rate during exercise correlated to body weight?”
Assumptions Testing
1. Data level of measurement – what is the level of measurement for the data used in this case
study? __Ratio____________________________________________________________
2. Would the amount of skewness and kurtosis in these variables affect the analysis? How do
you know? Give numerical values to support your conclusion.
For HR no. Skewness = .015/.661 = .0227, kurtosis = .639/1.279 = -0.499
For BW yes. Skewness = 1.987/.661 = 3.006, kurtosis = 3.797/1.279 = 2.9687

3. Was the assumption of normality met and how do you know?
For mean heart rate yes, because sig is greater than .05 - .842. Body weight no, it is smaller
than .05 - .002.
