14. Problem 15 in Chapter 16 described a study examining the effectiveness of a 7-minute Screen test for Alzheimer's disease: A sample of n = 9, mean scores on the 7-minute test = M = 7, SS = 92. The cognitive test scores averaged M = 17 with SS = 236. For these data, SP = 127.
a. Find the regression equation for predicting the cognitive scores from the 7-Minute Screen score.
b. What percentage of variance in the cognitive scores is accounted for by the regression equation?
c. Does the regression equation account for a significant portion of the variance in the cognitive scores? Use Ã?¯Ã??Ã?¡ = .05 to evaluate the F-ratio.
