DATA ANALYSIS Problem 1Answer the question: Does practice time make a difference? Support your answer with your findings.The ANOVA single factor test was used to determine whether there was a difference in the swimming time by practice time. ANOVA was calculated using the following steps:i) Present the data in three columns by practice time as shown:less than 15 (1)15-25 (2)greater than 25(3)58.764.46855.355.865.961.858.754.749.554.753.664.552.758.76167.858.765.761.665.751.458.766.553.654.656.75951.555.454.751.561.454.856.957.2ii) State the null and alternative hypothesesHo: all means are equalHA: all means are not equaliii) Run a single-factor ANOVA using the data analysis tool on Excel. The results are presented below:Anova: Single FactorSUMMARYGroupsCountSumAverageVarianceColumn 110580.558.0529.87833Column 213753.557.9615422.68423Column 313767.459.0307731.07897ANOVASource of VariationSSdfMSFP-valueF critBetween Groups8.86876068424.434380.1600920.8527233.284918Within Groups914.06346153327.69889Total922.932222235    Implication: The F statistic (0.16) is less than the F critical (3.29). Further, the F-statistic is yields a p-value of 0.853, which is greater than p?0.05, implying that the differences in means is not significant at the .05 level of significance and hence, we accept the null hypothesis. This implies that there is no difference in swimming time by the number of practice hours. As such, practice time does not make a difference in swimming time.Problem 21. Compute the correlation between motivation (x) and GPA (y).Correlation indicates the strength and direction of the association between two variables. It is computed using the formula:The steps in computing the correlation…

…between motivation and GPA, thus the more one studies. As shown by the scatter plot, higer values if motivation are associated with higher GPA scores and the scores increase with increases in motivation levels. For instance, at a motivation level of 2, the average GPA score is 2, at a motivation of 6, the averae GPA score is 2.8, and at a motivation score of 9, the average GPA score is 3.2.

Thus, we can conclude that the more one is motivated, the more they will study. However, the many scatter plots outside the trend line indicates that GPA is influenced by other factors besides motivation. Thus,….....
