In investigating whether stress is a factor in aging, telomere length was measured in women with chronically ill children, and compared to the number of years since the child's diagnosis. Use the following summary data to calculate the correlation coefficient between telomere length and chronocity: Summary data: Sum of products: -11.564 Sum of squares for chronicity: 311.422 Sum of squares for telomere length: 2.499 Total sample size: 39

Stress

Stress is defined as the feeling of being overwhelmed or unable to cope with emotional or mental pressure. Any event or action that makes a person annoyed, furious, or nervous can trigger it. Chemical changes in the body caused by stress can cause blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and heart rate to rise.
