Answer to Question 1

Multiple regression for analysis of nonexperimental data analysis. It is only for interval and ratio-level data. Power of multiple regression is an ability to control for many variables simultaneously. R-squared is the percentage of prediction accuracy, 20 percent is very good in social science, meaning that independent variables explain 20 percent of change in the dependent variable. Percent is based on improvement over zero. Beta coefficient tells size and direction of effects on each independent variable's
impact on a dependent variable.

Answer to Question 2

Form - relationships between two variables can be independent, linear, or curvilinear. Independence or no relationship looks like a random scatter with no patter Direction - positive relationship means higher values go with higher values. negative relationship means higher values on one variable go with lower values on the other. Precision - measures association - high precision occurs right on the line. Amount of
spread among the points indicates precision.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
