Question
Zhou and Vohs (2009) published a study showing that handling money reduces the perception of pain. In the experiment, a group of college students was told that they were participating in a manual dexterity study. Half of the students were given a stack of money to count and the other half got a stack of blank pieces of paper. After the counting task, the participants were asked to dip their hands into bowls of very hot water (122° F) and rate how uncomfortable it was. The following data show ratings of pain similar to the results obtained in the study.

Convert the data from this problem into a form suitable for the point-biserial correlation (use Y = 1 for the money and 0 for the plain paper), and then compute the correlation.

An independent-samples t test for the difference between the means of the two groups produced t = 3.573 with df = 16. Use the equation you learned for r² in connection with t tests to obtain r² directly from the t statistic and its df.
r² =
 
 
Within rounding error, this value of r² should be equal to the value obtained from the point-biserial correlation.
