Steps:
1. Click ANALYZE
2. Click Regression, then click Linear. A Linear Regression
Window will appear
3. Put Cost of Materials (COM) in the Dependent Variable
4. Then put Number of Employees (NoEmp), New Capital
Expenditures (NewCAPE), Value Added by Manufacture (VAMfg),
Value of Industry Shipments (VIS), and End-of-Year Inventories
(EoYI) in the Independent Variable
5. Change the Method to: STEPWISE
6. Click Statistics then click the boxes beside Descriptives,
Durbin-Watson and click Continue
7. After clicking Continue, you will be back in the Linear
Regression Window. Click Plots, put *ZPRED in the Y box,
and put *ZRESID in the X box. Click the boxes beside the
Histogram and Normal Probability Plot then click Continue
8. Back in the Linear Regression Window click OK
***The Output (Answer) in SPO/SPSS will be attached in another file.

DATABASE
The Step-Wise method retained the Value of Industry Shipments, Value Added by Manufacture, and End
of Year Inventories as the variables that are significant.
There appears to be a problem of multicollinearity in this analysis.

HOSIPITAL DATABASE
The Step-Wise method retained the Admissions, Beds, Outpatients, and Births as the variables that are
significant.
HOSPITAL DATABASE
- They are not aligned but closer with the line which makes this acceptable
- Scatterplot is acceptable as well
- The results show that the Dependent Variable has high correlation with the Independent Variables
FINANCIAL DATABASE
The Step-Wise method retained only Earnings Per Share .
FINANCIAL DATABASE
FINANCIAL DATABASE
- Scatterplot shows extremes (the three plots); Histogram also shows skewness. The extreme is the
Earnings per Share which shows it being significant at 0.003 (kindly see the Financial Output File)
- Earnings per Share is a factor that can significantly predict the Dependent variable which is the
companys average P/E ratio
Keywords in problems:
Is there a significant relationship between X and Y if it asks about relationship, use
Pearsons R
Which attribute of X can significantly predict/influence it the keywords are predict or
influence, use Regression
Is there a significant difference between X and Y when grouped according to sex? if it
asks about the difference and there are two variables involved (sex Male and Female), use
the T-Test
Is there a significant difference between X and Y when grouped into year level? if it asks
about the difference and there are three or more variable involved (year level), use ANOVA
