Researchers conducted an observational study of automobile drivers and their cell phone use by manually observing traffic in heavily congested areas. They would record the amount of time they observed individual drivers on the phone while operating their vehicle in stop and go traffic and the number of accidents on a particular section of highway over the course of a month. The accompanying graph depict the data they recorded, each point represents a 1 mile section of heavily congested roads. From the data, which of these is a potentially valid conclusion? Cell-phone use while driving increases the rate of accidents. O Car accidents and cell-phone use have no relationship. The increasing rate of car accidents causes increased phone-call length. A conclusion cannot be made; the data ignores the omitted variable of which cell-phone provider each person uses. If the x and y variables were swapped, what would the new slope be? zero positive Number of car accidents 10- 9- 8- 7- 5- 4- 3- 2-…

6. Imagine that I wanted to test the proposition that people think older politicians are more trustworthy. I recruited an internet sample of 90 people. Each person was asked to read a short article about a hypothetical political candidate. Random assignment determined whether the subjects were told that candidate was 65 or whether they were told that candidate was 35. After reading the article, all subjects used a 10-point scale to rate the candidate on competence, trustworthiness, and likability. I take the mean values of trustworthiness in each group, perform a difference of means test, and find a test statistic of 1.04. Should I reject the null at the 99% confidence level? Why or why not? What does that mean?
