Question:

Use the 2010 GSS file (GSS10SSDS) to investigate the relationship between the respondents education (EDUC) and the education received by his or her father and mother (PAEDUC and MAEDUC, respectively).
a. Use SPSS to find the correlation coefficient, the coefficient of determination, and the regression equation predicting the respondent's education with father's education only. Interpret your results.
b. Use SPSS to find the multiple correlation coefficient, the multiple coefficient of determination, and the regression equation predicting the respondent's education with father's and mother's education. Interpret your results.
c. Did taking into account the respondent's mothers education improve our prediction? Discuss this on the basis of the results from 5b.
d. Using the regression equation from 5a, calculate the predicted number of years of education for a person with a father with 12 years of education. Then, repeat this procedure, adding in a mother's 12 years of education and using the regression equation from 5b.
