Assessment Brief
“Correlation and Regression”Debate the following statement: “Correlation means Causation.” Determine
whether this statement is true or false, and provide reasoning for your
determination, using the Possible Relationships Between Variables table
from your textbook. Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) built a multiple regression model to
study the tradeoff between time spent in sleeping and working and to
look at other factors affecting sleep:
Sleep = Ξ²0 + Ξ²1 totwrk + Ξ²2 educ + Ξ²3 age + Ξ΅
where sleep and totwrk (total work) are
measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years.
Suppose the following equation is estimated:
Sleep = 3500 β 0.15 totwrk β 11.20 educ + 2.29 age + Ξ΅

Discuss what would happen to someoneβs sleep if they choose to work more.Analyze whether the factors of totwrk, educ, and age are enough
factors to explain the variation in sleep. Explain which additional
factors should be explored in order to explain the variation in sleep.
Provide your reasoning.
