Simple Regression Results Interpretation
Null and Alternative Hypotheses
The dependent variable (y) is injuries (severity of injuries) while the independent variable (x) is hours of training. The study seeks to determine whether the hours of training are a significant predictor of the severity of injuries in case one gets hurt playing football. The regression equation is:
Y = a + bx
Where Y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, a is the y-intercept and b is the slope of the line.
The null and alternative hypotheses are:
H0: b = 0 (x has no effect on y)
HA: b ? 0 (changes in y are due to changes in x)
Results of Simple Regression a
Interpretation
p value = 0.011
significance level (alpha) = 0.05
R2 =0.21 (21%)
b = -0.125
a = 6.8473
The regression line Y is given by:
Y = 6.8473 - 0.125x
There negative slope (-0.125) indicates an inverse relationship between hours of training and the severity of injury. More hours of training are associated with the lower severity of injury in case one gets hurt while playing. Increasing the hours of training by 1hour would reduce the severity of injury by 12.5 percent.
To check whether the relationship is significant, we compare the p-value to the 0.05 alpha value. The p-value is 0.011, which is less than the alpha value of .05 (p<0.05). Thus, the p-value is significant. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that changes in the dependent variable (severity of injury) are due to changes in the independent variable (hours of training). The hours of training are a significant predictor of the severity of injury. However, the R squared value of 0.21 indicates that the relationship is fairly weak the hours of training only predicts 20 percent of changes in the dependent variable, implying that there are other variables not captured in the analysis that influence the severity of a players injury.

BMJ Qual Saf (2012). doi:10.1136/bmjqs-2011-000614 Shift handoffs can be used as benchmarks to assess quality of communications among healthcare staff. Because communication overall is critical to quality of care, it is important to understand the factors that can improve shift handoff efficiency. Shift handoffs involve both technical communication and
Ameen Masoudi Combination Therapeutic Exercises with Manipulation for Reliving Pain and Increasing Range of Motion for Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain The lumbar spine is composed of the vertebrae as well as the ligaments beside the discs, nerves and muscles. This area is a common source of pain. This is one of reasons why people visit their physicians. Around seventy percent of people who live in advanced countries will have lower back pain
Memory Recall Author(s) First, Middle Initial (if applicable) and Last Name(s) in Starting with the Individual who Made the Biggest Contribution (not alphabetical) This study examines the difference that categorization makes in memory recall exercises. It uses students from Queens College in an experiment in which categorized words are read aloud to one group and random words read aloud to a second group. The groups are then scored according to how many
Nonparametric Analysis of Data Set The datasets consist of the following variables: • Sub_num • Gender • Major • Coffee, and • Num_cups. The datasets are used for the nonparametric analysis to investigate whether the choices of college majors are different between males and female's individuals. The analysis is carried out with the chi-square test and the document presents the output as follows: Gender * Major Cross-tabulation Count Major Total Gender Total Chi-Square Tests Value Df Asymp.
