For each of the following epidemiological scenarios, draw a DAG that represents the relationships between the variables: A researcher is studying the association between experiencing childhood abuse (A) and the occurrence of depression (D) as an adult. She has reason to believe that alcohol consumption (C) may mediate the relationship between (A) and (D).

A manager uses the SLR model to study the relationship between training hours (X) and a job efficiency index (Y). From a sample of 40 employees, she finds: bo = 13, b₁ = 2, SSR = 94.3, and SSE = 13.9 What percentage of variation in job efficiency index values is accounted for by the assumed relationship with training hours? (Round to the nearest percent and do not include the % sign in your answer.)

The accompanying data were read from a plot (and are a subset of the complete data set) given in an article. The data represent the mean response times for a group of individuals with closed-head injury (CHI) and a matched control group without head injury on 10 different tasks. Each observation was based on a different study, and used different subjects, so it is reasonable to assume that the observations are independent.

A study was undertaken to determine whether there was a significant weight (in lb) loss after one year course of therapy for diabetes, and whether the amount of weight (in lb) loss was related to initial weight. The following table gives the initial weight (x) and weight after one year of therapy (y) for 16 newly diagnosed adult diabetic patients.
An experiment was designed to study oil additives that could reduce polluting the air. Two additives were considered in the study. The two additives X1 and X2 were controlled and the level of the pollution Y is observed. The data were as follows: Y X1 X2 3.9 1.5 2.2 7.5 1.5 4.5 4.4 1.7 2.2 8.7 1.8 4.4 9.6 5.5 4.3 8.5 5.5 4.5 Find the regression equation Is the model valid? Which independent variable is linearly related to Y?
A special education teacher did research on whether or not there is a relationship between the number of students in his class and the number incidents of “acting out” behaviors exhibited by the autistic students in the classroom. He collects data for a year and aggregates them by month. He obtained the statistics below, r= -.863 R2=.74 b= -1.212294 a= 131.176598 10.) How does the presence of more students affect the incidents in the class? a) as students are added the incidences increase b) as students are added the incidences decrease c) the number of students does not affect acting out d) the number of students caused more incidents How much of the variability of acting out is explained by the number of students in the class?___________
Over the course of a year, you find a strong, positive correlation between ice cream sales and pool drownings in a medium-sized city. The mayor decides that to prevent drownings, ice cream will be banned within the city limits. However, you show the mayor that after controlling for the high temperature of each day, the correlation between ice cream sales and number of drownings drops to zero, because that relationship was actually: Group of answer choices direct. interactive. mediating. spurious.
Listed below are annual data for various years. The data are weights (metric tons) of imported lemons and car crash fatality rates per 100,000 population. Construct ascatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, and find the P-value using α=0.05. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between lemon imports and crash fatality rates? Do the results suggest that imported lemons cause car fatalities?

Suppose that as part of a research methods class, Bailey was asked to write summaries of research papers on the following topics. • The effects of increasing temperatures on the migration patterns of birds • The effects of media coverage on community support for crime prevention For each topic, identify the explanatory and the response variables. Temperature and the level of community support for crime prevention are the explanatory variables, and the amount of media coverage and the migration patterns of birds are the response variables. Temperature and the amount of media coverage are the response variables, and the migration patterns of birds and the level of community support for crime prevention are the explanatory variables.

Read the following text that describes an analytical study and complete the table below it: This research investigated the association or the relationship between some factors, namely (1) type of cars, (2) age and (3) gender of the car drivers and car accidents. More specifically, the researcher wanted to find out if these three independent factors had an impact on car accidents. He hypothesized that "car accidents do not increase or decrease as a result of the age of the drivers, gender of the driver and type of car". The sample of this research consisted of 2000 car drivers of different gender, ages and types of cars. The researcher designed a questionnaire to collect the primary data required. The questionnaire was very short. It elicited some demographic data from the respondents such as their gender, their age, and the type of car they used. The questionnaire also elicited from the participants if they had had accidents, the number of accidents they had and at what age they had…
In a study on television violence and aggression, researchers measured the TV viewing habits of 3rd grade males (preference for violent TV shows) and their levels of aggression; and then revisited the men 10 years later and measured the same variables. They found these zero-order correlations: Aggression G3 TV G3 Aggression Y18 Aggression G3 1.0 .65 .45 TV G3 1.0 .5 Aggression Y18 1.0 a) Suggest an operational definition to measure TV show preference for violent TV shows at Grade 3 and at Year 18. b) What is going on if the partial correlation of TV G3 and AGG Y18 with AGG G3 held constant is .09? How do you know this? c) What is going on if the partial correlation of AGG G3 and AGG Y18 with TV G3 held constant is .06? How do you know this?
