1. Below is computer output from SPSS, the package used in the text.  The table below has descriptive statistics for each variable measured the 5-point scale, with 5 being "Strongly Agree" and 1 being "Strongly Disagree"  (Favorable = "SA or A")
 
a. Which variable is has the most favorable rating?
b. Which variable has the most variation in the response?
c. Below is a frequency distribution of the stress variable.             

STRESS

     Frequency    Percent    Cumulative Percent
Valid    1.00    37    18.3    18.3
     2.00    20    9.9    28.2
     3.00    45    22.3    50.5
     4.00    45    22.3    72.8
     5.00    55    27.2    100.0
     Total    202    100.0    

What percentage of respondents "Strongly Agree/Agree" with their stress level being reasonable?

What percentage of respondents "Strongly Disagree/ Disagree" with their stress level being reasonable?

2.  In addition to the survey items, respondents were asked to report their age as follows:

My generation is (AGE)    Generation Y (Born 1981-2000)    1
Generation X (Born 1965-1980)    2
Baby Boomers (1946-1964)    3
Veterans (Born 1922-1945)    4

Below is output from an ANOVA to test if there are differences in stress levels between age groups.

What was is the null hypothesis?
What is the alternative hypothesis?

Below are summary statistics for

Which group has the lowest stress level? (1 pt)
Which group has the highest stress level? (1 pt)
Which group has the most variation in stress level? (1 pt)

Below is the ANOVA output.

3. The organization that surveyed the employees wanted to know what factors influenced STRESS so they could take action. To do that a multiple regression analysis was run that regressed the all the items against the STRESS measure to see which ones had the most impact on stress.  Below are the findings:
