A psychologist is interested in predicting a wifes education level (wifeduc, dependent variable) based upon the husbands education level (husbeduc, independent variable). Create a model of the relationship using a linear regression equation for predicting the wifes education level from the husbands education using the appropriate variables in gss.sav dataset. Use the SPSS output to answer the following questions:

  • What is the linear equation that models the situation?
  • Based upon the regression equation, what level of education does the model forecast for the wife when the husband has 14 years of education? (Do not round the value.)
  • How much of the total variance is accounted for with the equation?

Additionally, complete the following tasks:

  • Create a scatterplot, and include the line of best fit for the data.
  • Define line of best fit.

Submit both the SPSS output file and your APA-formatted Word summary that includes the key tables and plots.
