Systolic coefficients of variation are 14.2% and the Diastolic is 17% The coefficients of variation for each data set are: a. more than 5 percentage points apart b. within 5 percentage points of each other Therefore, the systolic measurements vary a. about the same as b. significantly more than c. significantly less than the diastolic measurements.
A regression analysis was performed to predict weight (y, in kg) using height (x, in cm) among 150 children. The coefficient of determination was . Which of the following is a valid interpretation? a. For each 1-cm increase in height, weight tends to increase by about 0.32 kg b. There is no association between weight and height c. Height accounts for about 32% of the total variability in weight d. The correlation between weight and height is about 0.32
A random sample of college students was surveyed about how they spend their time each week. The scatterplot below displays the relationship between the number of hours each student typically works per week at a part- or full-time job and the number of hours of television each student typically watches per week. The correlation between these variables is r = –0.63, and the equation we would use to predict hours spent watching TV based on hours spent working is as follows: Predicted hours spent watching TV = 17.21 – 0.23(hours spent working) Since we are using hours spent working to help us predict hours spent watching TV, we’d call hours spent working a(n) __________________ variable and hours spent watching TV a(n) __________________ variable. The correlation coefficient, along with what we see in the scatterplot, tells us that the relationship between the variables has a direction that is _________________ and a strength that is ______________________. According to the…
A researcher is interested in hamster wheel-running activity during the summer versus the winter. She suspects that either the hamsters will run less during the winter to conserve energy or they will run more to keep warm. She records the activity of n = 25 hamsters during June, July, and August and compares their running-wheel revolutions per hour to the activity of the same hamsters during December, January, and February. The data are collected, and the results show an average difference score of MD = 5. 7 and a sum of squares of SS = 2,851.44. What is the sample standard deviation (s) for the D scores? (one decimal)
Select the most appropriate response. If the correlation between a person’s age and annual income is 0.60, then the coefficient of determination tells us that: 36% of the variation in a person’s annual income can be explained by the predictor variable age. 36% of a person’s annual income can be explained by their age 60% of the variation in a person’s annual income can be explained by the predictor variable age 60% of a person’s annual income can be explained by their age

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?

Poisoning by the pesticide DDT causes tremors and convulsions. In a study of DDT poisoning, researchers fed several rats a measured amount of DDT. They then made measurements on the rats’ nervous systems that might explain how DDT poisoning causes tremors. One important variable was the “absolutely refractory period,” the time required for a nerve to recover after a stimulus. This period varies normally. Measurements on four rats gave the following measurements (in milliseconds): 6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9. Estimate the mean absolutely refractory period for all rats of this strain when subjected to the same treatment.
