Statistics Case Analysis No. 5– Regression
The major objectives of this case study is test your learning in:
• Using techniques of statistical test in evaluating generic assumptions underlying regression.
• Formulate appropriate hypothesis for the study.
• Using statistics to answer the case study questions and hypothesis, and presenting the
analysis in logical manner;
• Reporting statistical results clearly and concisely reflecting competence in written
communication skills; and
• Using SPSS in statistical calculations and interpret succinctly and accurately the research
output.
Relationship Between the Volume of Wood and Various Characteristics
In a study concerning the relationship between the volume of wood provided by a forest area
and various characteristics of the area, an experiment forest containing mixed soft wood trees
was divided into plots, of which twenty-five were selected at random. Measurements were
made on each of the plots at the beginning of the study: initial wood volume, number of trees,
average age of trees and average volume of trees. Five years later at the end of the study, the
final wood volume was measured. Given the data in Prac17.sav, your tasks are to:
1. Assess the data for the violation of assumptions.

2. Derive the regression equation and explain if all the predictors make sense of what
researcher is expecting (check whether they are statistically significant and, if so, the direction
of the relationship).
3. What is the best predictor of the final volume of trees? What is the best regression
equation? Explain
4. Test the hypothesis indicated by previous forestry research that initial wood volume is the
best predictor of final wood volume, followed by the number of trees in the plot.
Additional Requirements
1. Documents must be computerized using font 12, New Times Roman, single spacing, in an
A4 paper size.
2. Must be submitted on our Google Classroom on Saturday, December 4, 2021 on or before

2. Only wood volume is significant if all independent variables are entered into the regression
equation. Any remaining independent variables are not significant to the final wood volume.
However, when independent variables are entered separately, initial wood volume, number of
trees, age of trees and average volume of trees are all significant respectively.
3. Initial wood volume, number of tress, age of trees followed by average volume of trees are
the best predictors. They are all significant predictors of the final wood volume.
