It has the following variables: Variable Label ID <none> Practice Hours spent practicing Height Height in feet Shots Basketball shots made in a minute 1. What is the correlation between Hours Spent Practicing and Basketball Shots? (Refer back to an older lab if you need to remember how to do a correlation). 2. Is this correlation significantly different from 0? 3. What does that tell you about the relation between Practice and Shots? Now we will run a bivariate regression predicting Shots from Practice. 4. Which is your criterion variable (your DV), and which is your Predictor (ID)? 5. What is the regression constant (a)?
