6. You compute the correlation coefficient between hours of TV watched each week and gradepoint index for a group of college students, and you obtain r= - 1.65. This means that (a) you made an arithmetic mistake. (b) students who watch more TV tend to get lower grades. (c) students who watch more TV tend to get higher grades. (d) there is little association between TV viewing and gradepoint index.

Q1. A psychologist conducted a study on the relationship between introversion and shyness. The values are results for scales of introversion and shyness. High positive scores on each scale indicate high introversion or shyness; and high negative scores indicate low introversion or shyness. Data collected from 10 people as follows: Introversion 4 -7 -1 0 6 7 -4 -9 -5 8 Shyness 11 -7 -1 -3 0 7 -1 -8 -1 5 a) Compute the correlation coefficient relating introversion and shyness scores. b) Find the regression equation which predicts introversion from shyness. c) What introversion score would you predict from a shyness score of 7?
