Data Exercise

Suppose Israa is interested in knowing whether any relationship exists between student's motivation towards mathematics and their score on mathematics assessment test. She is also interested to know how much variation in math assessment test is explained by motivation towards mathematics.

Israa conducts a pilot study with high school students to examine her assumption. Israa collected data on math motivation using five statements which were measured on a five-point Likert scale and later Israa created an index of math motivation, which ranged from 1 = low motivation to 5 = high motivation. Israa collected data on math assessment test using a standardized test. Please consider the math motivation index as an interval variable. The data from the study are available in the attached AEE521 Data Exercise 7.sav file.

Conduct the appropriate statistical test at α = .05 using SPSS. Please conduct descriptive analysis, appropriate statistical assumption tests, and appropriate statistical test statistics analysis. Please interpret the beta coefficient. When you are submitting the assignment, please  provide a write-up (should include a description of results, statistical assumptions, and interpretation of findings), SPSS output, and SPSS syntax from your analysis.
