Question

Page 182 problem #18 A researcher believes nurses are absent from work more frequently when the score higher on a test of “psychological burnout.” These are the data: 1.   Burnout (X): 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 7, 7, 8 Absences (Y): 4, 7, 6, 9, 6, 8, 7, 10, 11

Write an APA results summary.

Expert Solution
Step 1

 

The provided data are shown in the table below

Burnout (X) Absences (Y)
2 4
1 7
2 6
3 9
4 6
4 8
7 7
7 10
8 11

Now we will calculate the correlation coefficient to determine whether there is strong / moderate relationship between Burnout and Absences OR whether nurses are absent from work more frequently when the score higher on a test of “psychological burnout.”

Also, the following calculations are needed to compute the correlation coefficient:

  X Y X*Y X2 Y2
  2 4 8 4 16
  1 7 7 1 49
  2 6 12 4 36
  3 9 27 9 81
  4 6 24 16 36
  4 8 32 16 64
  7 7 49 49 49
  7 10 70 49 100
  8 11 88 64 121
Sum = 38 68 317 212 552
