Interpret the table below.


As the scatterplot indicates, the association between father’s education and respondent’s socioeconomic status is positive for both males and females. However, you can see that the lines cross somewhere around 10 years of father’s education. This indicates that while both males and females benefit from their father’s education, males tend to benefit at a greater rate, as indicated by the steeper slope of the fit line. We can also see in the correlation table above that for males the Pearson’s r is equal to .358. On the other hand, for females the Pearson’s r is .286. This indicates that the association of father’s education with respondent’s socioeconomic status is stronger for males than it is for females.
