Suppose that two variables, X and Y, are negatively associated. Does this mean that above-average values of X will always be associated with below-average values o Y? Explain. Choose the correct answer below. O A. No, because there will always be at least one point that does not fit the trend. O B. Yes, because if one or more above-average values of X are associated with above-average values of Y, the variables cannot be negatively associated. O C. No, because association does not mean that every point fits the trend. The negative association only means that above-average values of X are generally associated with below-average values of Y. D. No, because when two variables, X and Y, are negatively associated, above-average values of X are associated with above-average values of Y.

A phrase often repeated in this class is "correlation is not causation". Which of the following best describes what this phrase means? Correlation is not causation means that just because two values appear to be related on a graph doesn't mean that one necessarily causes the other. Correlation is not causation means that when we see values that move together (e.g. ice cream sales and murder rates), we can assume that one must be causing the other. Correlation is not causation means that if values move in opposite directions (e.g. average temperature goes down and grades go up), we can assume that one must influence to the other. O Correlation is not causation means that when values are shown to be related in a graph, this is proof that they are not causal.
For each problem, select the best response. (a) In a scatterplot of the average price of a barrel of oil and the average retail price of a gallon of gasoline, you expect to see A. a positive association. B. very little association. C. a negative association. D. None of the above. (b) What are all the values that a correlation r can possibly take? A. -1 ≤ ≤ r ≤ ≤ 1 B. r ≥ ≥ 0 C. 0 ≤ ≤ r ≤ ≤ 1 D. None of the above. (c) You have data for many years on the average price of a barrel of oil and the average retail price of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline. When you make a scatterplot, the explanatory variable on the x -axis A. is the price of oil. B. is the price of gasoline. C. can be either oil price or gasoline price. D. None of the above
Suppose that the correlation between height and IQ in children is +0.70. What proportion (or percent) of the variability in IQ can be explained by the relationship with height? Select one: a. 44% b. 51% c. 70% d. 49%
The following statement contains an error. Choose the statement that best explains the error. "The correlation between shoe size and height is 0.87 inches" A. Correlation requires that both of the variables be categorical B. When stating the correlation coefficient, one must state whether it is a positive or negative relationship C. This statement does not tell us whether or not shoe size is correlated with height D. When reporting correlation, one does not report units because correlation has no units E. There is no error in this statement

C. a negative association. D. None of the above. (b) If the correlation between two variables is close to 0, you can conclude that a scatterplot would show A. a cloud of points with no visible pattern.B. no straight-line pattern, but there might be a strong pattern of another form. C. a strong straight-line pattern. D. None of the above.

2. What does it mean for a scatter plot to have a negative trend? O A. Higher c-values tend to go with higher y-values. OB. Higher -values tend to go with lower y-values. OC. The x- and y-values appear to be unrelated. OD. None of these are true.
The table pertains to scheduled commercial carriers. Fatalities data include those on the ground except for the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Use this information given in the table. For fatalities the mean an = 66.7 the median = 14.5 and the mode = 2 2. The year 2001 was clearly an anomaly. If the data for that year is reduced by 239 fatalities, which of the three measures change and what are their new values for each of the following? please help:(
Select the most appropriate response. If the correlation between a person’s age and annual income is 0.60, then the coefficient of determination tells us that: 36% of the variation in a person’s annual income can be explained by the predictor variable age. 36% of a person’s annual income can be explained by their age 60% of the variation in a person’s annual income can be explained by the predictor variable age 60% of a person’s annual income can be explained by their age

Dinosaur Sizes y 70 60 30 20 10 20 40 60 80 100 Length (feet) Which statement accurately describes the information in the scater plot? A The information shows a positive correlation. The weight of a dinosaur tends to increase according to its length. B. The information shows a negative correlaion. The weight of a dinosaur tends to decrease according to its length. C. The information shows no correlaton. The weight and length vary according to the type of dinosaur. D. The information shows no correlation.

A graduate teaching assistant for an Introduction to Statistics course collected data from one of her classes to investigate the relationship between using the explanatory variable x=study time per week (average number of hours) to predict the response variable y=college GPA. For the 21 females in her class, the correlation was 0.42. For the eight males in her class, the data were as shown in the following table. Complete parts a through c below.

3. If there is a linear, strong, and positive relationship between the scores on two tests, we should conclude that A. Scoring high on one test causes an individual to score high on the other test. B. high scores on one test are associated with low scores on the other test. C. as one test score goes down, the other test score goes up. D. low scores on one test are associated with low scores on the other test. E. the value of r must be close to 0.
When the values of x tend to increase while the values of y tend to decrease; we say that: Answer choices: a. there is a cause-and-effect relationship between the two variables. b. there is a negative correlation between the variables. c. there is no correlation between the two variables.
