A researcher is trying to identify predictors for reading comprehension among children. Thedata filecontains 6 variables. The dependent variable is reading comprehension (reading), the independent...

A Study of the Linear Relationship of children’s reading comprehension and phoneme awareness (phoneme), visual perception (visual), morpheme awareness (morpheme), gender (1-female, 2-male) and LS (Learning Style:1-visual, 2-auditory, 3-kinesthetic).
Dependent variable: Children’s reading comprehension
Independent variables: phoneme awareness (phoneme), visual perception (visual), morpheme awareness (morpheme), gender (1-female, 2-male) and LS (Learning Style:1-visual, 2-auditory, 3-kinesthetic).
The aim of the present study was to investigating possible relationship between Children’s reading comprehension and phoneme awareness (phoneme), visual perception (visual), morpheme awareness (morpheme), gender (1-female, 2-male) and LS (Learning Style:1-visual, 2-auditory, 3-kinesthetic).

Test of Normality:
We check the variables Children’s reading comprehension and phoneme awareness (phoneme), visual perception (visual), morpheme awareness (morpheme) are follows normal distribution.

From the output
Reading Comprehension:
Shapiro Wilk Test statistic of Reading comprehension = 0.959
P value = 0.000
Here we observe that p-value(0.000) is less than level Significance value(0.05).So the variables Reading Comprehension was not follow the Normal distribution
Box-Plot for Reading Comprehension:
Interpretation: From the Box-Plot: Most of the data false on Right side. The data follows Positively skewed distribution. So the Reading comprehension is follow the normal distribution. Because The box plot is not symmetrical.
Phoneme awareness (phoneme):
Shapiro Wilk Test statistic of Phoneme awareness = 0.914
P value = 0.000
Here we observe that p-value (0.000) is less than level Significance value (0.05). So the variables Phoneme awareness was not follow the Normal distribution
Box-Plot for Phoneme awareness:
Interpretation:
From the Box-Plot: Most of the data false on Right side. The data follows Positively skewed distribution. So, the Phoneme awareness is follow the normal distribution. Because The box plot is not symmetrical.
Visual Perception:
Shapiro Wilk Test statistic of Visual Perception = 0.962
P value = 0.000
Here we observe that p-value (0.000) is less than level Significance value (0.05). So the variables Visual Perception was not follow the Normal distribution
Box-Plot for Visual Perception:
Interpretation:
From the Box-Plot: Most of the data false on Right side. The data follows Positively skewed distribution. So, the Visual Perception is follow the normal distribution. Because The box plot is not symmetrical.
Morpheme awareness:
Shapiro Wilk Test statistic of Morpheme awareness = 0.933
P value = 0.000
Here we observe that p-value (0.000) is less than level Significance value (0.05). So the variables was Morpheme awareness not follow the Normal distribution
Box-Plot for Morpheme awareness:
Interpretation:
From the Box-Plot: Most of the data false on Left side and there is one Outlier that is 0.00. The data follows Negatively skewed distribution. So, the Morpheme Awareness is follow the normal distribution. Because The box plot is not symmetrical.
