  1. Perform a simple linear regression analysis to predict an employee’s annual salary based upon his or her average performance rating for the past 3 years using a 95% level of confidence.
    1. Does the regression model confirm a positive correlation between the dependent variable and the independent variable as hypothesized?
    2. Is the statistical significance of the model as a whole acceptable for a 95% level of confidence?
    3. Is the statistical significance of the linear relationship between the dependent and independent variable acceptable for a 95% level of confidence?
    4. What is the regression equation for the model?
    5. What is the predicted annual salary for employee number 13 based upon his or her average performance rating for the past 3 years, and what does the predicted salary value suggest regarding his or her current annual salary?
  2. Perform a simple linear regression analysis to predict an employee’s annual salary based upon his or her years of service using a 95% level of confidence.
    1. Does the regression model confirm a positive correlation between the dependent variable and the independent variable as hypothesized?
    2. Is the statistical significance of the model as a whole acceptable for a 95% level of confidence?
    3. Is the statistical significance of the linear relationship between the dependent and independent variable acceptable for a 95% level of confidence?
    4. What is the regression equation for the model?
    5. What is the predicted annual salary for employee number 13 based upon his or her years of service, and what does the predicted salary value suggest regarding his or her current annual salary?
  3. Perform a multiple linear regression analysis to predict an employee’s annual salary based upon his or her average performance rating for the past 3 years and his or her years of service using a 95% level of confidence.
    1. Is the statistical significance of the model as a whole acceptable for a 95% level of confidence?
    2. Is the statistical significance of the linear relationship between the dependent variable and each of the independent variables acceptable for a 95% level of confidence?
    3. What is the regression equation for the model?
    4. What is the predicted annual salary for employee number 13 based upon his or her average performance rating for the past 3 years and years of service, and what does the predicted salary value suggest regarding his or her current annual salary?
  4. Which of the two simple linear regression models is the preferred model, and why?
  5. Is the multiple regression model preferable to the preferred simple regression model, and why?


Hint: For the purposes of this homework assignment, the minimum difference between the R2or Adjusted R2 values for two acceptable regression models that would favor selecting a model with a larger number of independent variables is 0.05.

Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

 Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.
