Two variables are correlated-their values systematically go along with each other. If one of those variables is selected as the IV in a study, then it is very possible that the study will be flawed because the other variable will be a(n) independent variable dependent variable nuisance variable confounding variable O significant variable

In 2013 students from a Statistics class at FSEV UK were asked to survey their friends who were 15-30 years old, in order to explore the interests of young people. The survey has a variety of questions, which are detailed in the Survey Key. For example, the column header “Music” is short for the question “I enjoy listening to music” and is rated 1-5, where 1 represents strongly disagree and 5 represents strongly agree. There is also some categorical data present as well. Survey participants record their gender, how often they smoke/drink, their internet usage, and education (just to name a few!). Please perform a hypothesis test based on one of the categorical variables and one survey question. For example, you could choose to prove the following: Survey participants who identify as an “only child” enjoy meeting new people (Survey score ). Here is an example: people who are right-handed (as identified in the data set) enjoy listening to music. Please be sure to use two columns…
You are investigating whether a new treatment for depression works better than two established treatments. You randomly assign 90 participants to one of three groups (New Treatment. Established Treatment 1, and Established Treatment 2). Because these are all new types of treatment for depression you don't have any previous research or theory on which to suggest that one treatment will be better or worse than another. After the experiment is completed you explore the mean group differences you found. In so doing you would be conducting O Tukey's post hoc tests O a correlated groups t-test O effect sizes an a priori (planned) comparison
During the exam you will be using a sample of 500 adults with the following variables: ● genhelf - variable recording general self-reported health coded 1 = very good, 2 = good, 3 = fair, 4 = poor ● sbp - variable recording systolic blood pressure age - age of the respondent in years • sex-coded 1 = male and 2 = female ● hi_sbp - indicator of high blood pressure coded 1 if the respondent's sbp is 130 or higher and 0 otherwise What type of variable is genhelf? O Discrete Continuous Nominal O Ordinal
Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
If a coefficient is not statistically significant, what does that mean? 1 There is omitted variable bias. 2 None of these 3 The other variables are highly correlated with the dependent variable. 4 There is no multicollinearity. 5 The dependent variable is probably not influenced by the independent variable.
08 Siti has created a dataset containing 10 rows of data, each row signifies one person. She has two variables, the first is Age (in years) and the other is Cholesterol levels (in mmol/L). She wants to find out if there is any relationship between these two variables using the Pearson correlation in SPSS. a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. b) Based on the Pearson correlation results below from SPSS, make a decision regarding the null hypotheses. Age Pearson Correlation Sig. (2-talled) N Age 1 10 .882 Cholesterol Pearson Correlation Sig. (2-talled) N Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-talled).

One professor who teaches statistics gave students one homework assignment. He asked students to find a two-variable data set and compute the Pearson correlation coefficient. One student found a data set: one variable is students' midterm test score in an introductory microeconomics class and total observations are 45 students; while the other one variable is also students' midterm test score in another introductory microeconomics class and total observations are 57 students. Both of these two classes were taught by the same instructor in spring 2018. Does this student's data set make sense? Why or why not? Discuss and explain your reasons. You must provide your statistical analysis and reasons.
What is the most accurate interpretation of a significant correlation of rs = -.55 between annual CO2 emissions and annual average temperature (ranked from hottest year to coldest year)? Increased CO2 emissions are associated with lower annual average temperature Increased CO2 emissions are associated with higher annual average temperature Increased CO2 emissions lead to higher annual average temperature Increased CO2 emissions lead to lower annual average temperature If we conducted a study with a small group of randomly selected first- year psychology students and found a Pearson’s r of -.39 between distance from home to university (measured in km) and class attendance, what could we say about the relationship in the population? University students who live far from their homes are less likely to attend class There is no relationship between distance between home and university with class attendance University students who live far from their homes are more likely to attend…
A researcher is studying psychological factors in artistic achievement among teenage girls. One variable he is particularly interested in is perseverance. What information does a measure of variability for the variable perseverance convey? Check all that apply. What is the central tendency for the variable perseverance among teenage girls? What is the most common value for the variable perseverance among teenage girls? How spread out are the values for perseverance amoung teenage girls? Do all teenage girls have the same amount of perseverance?
The same media consultants decided to continue their investigation of the focal relationship between income and TV viewing habits. In order to confirm the existence of the focal relationship, they decided to control for immigration status by adding a variable measuring the number of each survey respondent's grandparents who were born outside the U.S. The researchers wonder if immigration background could influence both income and TV watching (but they hope this is not true, because it could invalidate the focal relationship). The researchers conduct a multivariate regression by adding a measure of number of grandparents born outside the U.S. to the regression equation presented in Equation 2 of Table 1. The results of the second regression equation are presented in Equation 2 of Table 1. Table 1. OLS Regression Coefficients Representing Influence of Income and Control Variables on Number of Hours of TV Watched per Day Equation 1 Equation 2 Equation 3 Annual Income…
