1) Is there a relationship between a person’s age (AGE) and the number of hours spent per day watching TV (TVHOURS)? Use the GSS 2018 data to test this relationship.
Make a prediction:
What is the mean (average) number of hours people spend watching television each day?
Would expect the correlation between age and television viewing to be
Negative Nonexistent Positive
Now perform the analysis with PSPP and find:
Correlation _________ (Pearson's)
Significance Level ______ (as stated in PSPP output below the correlation coefficient )
Is the relationship statistically significant? Yes No
Do people tend to watch more or less TV as they age More Less
How would you explain these findings?
