Chapter 16, Problem 13P

Problem 14 in Chapter 15 described a study examining the effectiveness of a 7-Minute Screen test for Alzheimer’s disease. The study evaluated the relationship between scores from the 7-Minute Screen and scores for the same patients from a set of cognitive exams that are typically used to test for Alzheimer’s disease. For a sample of n = 9 patients, the scores for the 7-Minute Screen averaged M = 7 with S S = 92 . The cognitive lest scores averaged M = l7 with S S = 236 . For these data, S P = 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 α = .05 to evaluate the F-ratio.

Identifying individuals with a high risk of Alzheimer’s disease usually involves a long series of cognitive tests. However, researchers have developed a 7-Minute Screen, which is a quick and easy way to accomplish the same goal. The question is whether the 7-Minute Screen is as effective as the complete series of tests. To address this question. Ijuin et al. (2008) administered both tests to a group of patients and compared the results. The following data represent results similar to those obtained in the study.

a. Compute the Pearson correlation to measure the degree of relationship between the two test scores.

b. Is the correlation statistically significant? Use a two-tailed test with α = .01 .

c. What percentage of variance for the cognitive scores is predicted from the 7-Minute Screen scores? (Compute the value of r 2 .)
