RESEARCH MODEL

• Show the equation(s) describing the general regression model:

Y1 = b0 + b1X1 + b2X2 + b3X3 + b4X4

Y2 = b0 + b1Y1

SAMPLE DATA

• Description of Sampling Process– Description of Population– Sampling Method– Sources of Data, etc.

DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS

• Description of Sample Data– Frequency Tables, etc.

CORRELATION ANALYSIS

• Insert Pearson Correlation Matrix here.

RESULTS (continued)

• Insert the results of Multiple Regression Model (full model) here.

RESULTS (continued)

• Insert the results of any reduced models from regression analysis such as Female Model & Male Model, etc.

DISCUSSION

• Comparison b/w your results and past studies

– Hypothesis 1: X1 Y1 Supported– Hypothesis 2: X2 Y1 Not Supported– Hypothesis 3: X3 Y1 Supported– Hypothesis 4: X4 Y1 Supported– Hypothesis 5: Y1 Y2 Supported

MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS

• Attempt to make meaningful outcomes from the research results.
