You think that the amount of scale of industrial growth is directly related to number of species that go extinct in different countries. You have the following data showing the industrial growth rating with 0 being no industrial growth and 10 being the most industrial growth. Complete an 8-step hypothesis test to find if the correlation between the two is significant. Industrial Growth Score Number of Species going Extinct per year 6. 8. 10 15 20 3. 7.
Assuming the lowest decile of men receive an average of $800/month in Social Security, while the highest decile receive $2200/month in Social Security how much does each receive (on average) during their years in retirement.

A researcher was interested in the relationship between number of close friends and self-esteem. A sample of 40 participants were recruited and asked to report the number of close friends they had, as well as their level of self-esteem. The data showed a positive correlation, such that having more close friends was associated with having higher self-esteem, r(38) = .45. Here are the descriptive statistics for the two variables: Close Friends Self-Esteem Mean 8.90 5.20 SD 3.75 2.15 In a regression equation predicting self-esteem, what is the value of b?A) 0.258B) 0.263C) 0.785D) 0.573 In a regression equation predicting self-esteem, what is the value of a?A) -1.787B) 7.496C) 2.904D) 4.818 One participant named Jesse reported that they had 4 close friends.

Studies have shown that people who suffer sudden cardiac arrest have a better chance of survival if a defibrillator shock is administered very soon after cardiac arrest. How is survival rate related to the time between when cardiac arrest occurs and when the defibrillator shock is delivered? The accompanying data give y = survival rate (percent) and x = mean call-to-shock time (minutes) for a cardiac rehabilitation center (in which cardiac arrests occurred while victims were hospitalized and so the call-to-shock time tended to be short) and for four communities of different sizes. Mean call-to-shock time, x 2 6 79 12 Survival rate, y (a) Construct a scatterplot for these data. y 12. 10 O 8 6 20 40 60 91 44 32 6 4 80 100 y 100 80 60 ELL 40 20 2 4 6 8 X 12 10 8 6 4 20 40 60 (b) Find the equation of the least-squares line.

A researcher wanted to know the relationship between sales per 24h in a department store, the amount of rain that day (in mm) and the mean age of 1000 customers. The SPSS output is presented below. What is the correct way to report the correlation between sales per 24h and rainfall that day in APA style? Question 24 options: r(16) = -.909, p<.001 r(18) = -.909, p=.000 r(18) = -.909, p<.001 r(16) = -.909, p=.000
A study was conducted to determine if the number of hours of sleep per night was related to exam performance on an exam taken the following day. The correlation coefficient was found to be .78. Which statement is FALSE? The relationship between hours of sleep and exam performance the following day is strong. As the number of hours of sleep increases, exam performance is also expected to increase at a similar rate. The r-value is .78. The number of hours of sleep cannot be used to estimate or predict possible performance on an exam the following day.
An economist conducted a study of the possible association between weekly income and weekly grocery expenditures. The particular interest was whether higher income would result in shoppers spending more on groceries. A random sample of shoppers at a local supermarket was obtained, and a questionnaire was administered asking about the weekly income of the shopper’s family and the grocery bill for that week. The correlation was found to be r=0.675. The percentage (to two decimal places) of variation in grocery bills explained by the family's weekly income regression line is:

Suppose that you are interested in the relationship between Reading and Writing scores. (a) Provide the scatterplot for the association between Reading and Writing scores. Based on the scatterplot, do you expect Reading to be correlated with Writing? If so, based only on the plot, would you expect the correlation to be positive or negative? Explain your answer. (b) Report the value of the correlation between Reading and Writing scores, and whether it is statistically significant. Do these results agree with your expectations from part (a)?
