Overview
The superintendent would like to know what relationships exist between different domains of Georgia Milestones Assessment scores. She has provided your principal with the included Excel file, “Milestones_Grade8,” which is a random sample of eighth-grade students from all public middle schools in the school system. The students were chosen randomly in such a way that all 8th grade students had an equal chance of being selected. Since the principal knows you are taking a research course, he has asked you to complete the assignment. In this activity, you are to use Excel to calculate correlation coefficients.
For # 2, in the chart, make sure you accurately round to the nearest hundredth (two values after the decimal). In Part 3 Question # 1, if you do not use the correct terminology when interpreting correlation coefficients as noted in your readings, HALF CREDIT will be automatically deducted. The main focus of this assignment is to compute and interpret correlation values and not confuse it with statistical significance.
Students can find help with correlation in Excel by using Hoonuit (formerly Atomic Learning) found on VSU website and on YouTube. If you find you cannot search for Excel via the Atomic Learning site in our Collaborate module, here is an alternative way to get to the program which might work for you, if needed. The Excel Basics title in Hoonuit has help for the Pearson correlation coefficient
