Document Summary
Predictor variable: amount of red meat one eats (in grams: the predictor variable is similar to the independent variable but it is not being manipulated. Amount of red meat being consumed (in grams): ratio (part of continuous) because there is no order to it and can only be above the number of 0. Number of cardiovascular disease symptoms: ratio (part of continuous) because there is no order to it and can only be above the number of 0: compute an a priori power analysis with g*power. Linearity can be tested using the pearson product moment correlation coefficient. You are looking for a value close to +1 or -1. As the result becomes closer to 0, the less significant of a relationship the variables will have. This is ensuring that the x predictor variable is related to the y criterion variable: this assumption has been met as seen in the correlation statistics below.
