Question about final project

1. Could someone provide an example of a title for question 1...how do we state correlations between, SD and M without being redundant of info provided in the table?
2.For question 3, do we need to state why we "decided" to use the square method to transform...we were not taught how to decide which to do. Can we just say something to the effect of "the plots show we need to transform____?
3.Do we need to report the exact values for VIF and tolerance when we talk/write about multicollinearity?
4. In our write-up for number 6, how do we report transformation? Could we please have an example of that...also, do we need to report anything about cheight, sqheight, or sqCheight anywhere in that write up?
5.Do we need to paste the bivariate partial plots for number 8? aka the cheight or the sqcheight?

Here are Sung's Responses:

1. descriptive statistics (or means, standard deviations) and correlations of study variables (please do not copy and paste this. you need to format it according to the APA styles.)

2. Yes. Please read the question carefully. The answer is there. (hint: scatterplot)

3. Refer to previous answer on blog

4. "In the analysis the height variable was centered. Also, a quadratic term of height was created by squaring the centered height variable, which, then, was entered into the regression model."

5. I haven't asked for any partial plots for number 8. Please read on the blog my answers about the assumption checking for Questions 2, 5 and 8.
