Distinguished - Performs all of the following correctly: identifies the data input range, creates a correlation table involving the requested  interval and ratio variables, does not include any nominal and ordinal data measures that cannot be correlated using Pearson’s correlation (the correlation used in the table), identifies the critical t-value for significance testing, translates the t-value into an associated correlation value, identifies statistically significant correlations between salary and other variables, and responds to questions about the results.

Proficient - One of the following was not done correctly: identifies the data input range, creates a correlation table involving the requested  interval and ratio variables, does not include any nominal and ordinal data measures that cannot be correlated using Pearson’s correlation (the correlation used in the table), identifies the critical t-value for significance testing, translates the t-value into an associated correlation value, identifies statistically significant correlations between salary and other variables, and responds to questions about the results..

Below Expectations - Three or more of the following were not done correctly: identifies the data input range, creates a correlation table involving the requested  interval and ratio variables, does not include any nominal and ordinal data measures that cannot be correlated using Pearson’s correlation (the correlation used in the table), identifies the critical t-value for significance testing, translates the t-value into an associated correlation value, identifies statistically significant correlations between salary and other variables, and responds to questions about the results.

Non-Performance - There is either no response to Problem One, or it does not provide any correct interpretation of the outcomes provided.

Distinguished -Performs all of the following correctly: sets up the regression test with right data and correctly presented two sets of hypotheses, correctly rejects or does not reject both hypotheses sets for equation and individual coefficients, correctly writes out the regression equation using only the significant variables, correctly interprets the meaning of the regression on the question of equal pay for equal work, and identifies the gender getting more (if appropriate).

Distinguished - Provides useful and relevant additional information to incorporate into the analysis.

Proficient - Provides mostly relevant additional information to incorporate into the analysis.

Basic - Provides somewhat relevant additional information to incorporate into the analysis.

Below Expectations - Attempts to provide additional information to incorporate into the analysis; however, the information is not relevant to the case.

Non-Performance - No additional information is provided to support the case.

Distinguished -Performed all of the following correctly: presents an answer to the question of equal pay based on work done to date, identifies, if present, differences in the outcomes, accurately explains consistency or inconsistency between outcomes, and clearly explains which variable is the better to use in answering the equity question and why.
