There are some bizarre examples of correlation between non related variables. Find one such example.
People often wonder which has the greater relationship with body weight, daily calories, or daily exercise. While there are certainly many factors that can affect body weight, these are often the two most investigated. A research group performed a correlation analysis. First, they calculated the correlation between body weight and calorie intake. The r-value was found to be .52. Next, the research group calculated the correlation between hours of exercise per week and body weight. The r value was - .57. Which statement is FALSE? The correlation between exercise and body weight is weaker than the relationship between calorie intake and body weight. The correlation between body weight and calorie intake is a strong relationship. The correlation between body weight and exercise is a strong relationship. The correlation between exercise and body weight is stronger than the relationship between calorie intake and body weight.
Christina obtained the following results for about 500 families: Average weight of husband = 170 lbs, SD=10 lbs Average weight of wife=140 lbs, SD=5 lbs • Correlation r=0.4 The scatterplot of the dataset shows the relationship between husbands and wives weights is linear. Of the women who were married to men of weight 200 lbs, their estimated average weight will be (A) 200 (B) 200+0.4* (140-170) (C) 140+ 0.4*10 (200-140) (D) 140+0405 (200-170)
The coefficient of determination is the square root of the correlation coefficient is the same as the correlation coefficient cannot be negative can be negative or positive
true or false Correlations are expressed as either a positive or negative value between -1.0 and +1.0.
Give an example of a scatter plot with 5 points that has a correlation of r=0 on the axes below. How did you arrive at your scatter plot?
From a regression equation r2= 0.39 and the slope = -2.8 What is the linear correlation coefficient r?
If variable X remains constant as variable Y decreases, the correlation is said to be: zero negative positive strong
Suppose a positive linear correlation is found between two quantities. Does this mean that one of the quantities increasing causes the other to increase? If not, what does it mean?
You calculate a correlation coefficient of -0.8 for the two characteristics of eating a particular fruit and having a particular level of blood cholesterol. What can you conclude? There is not enough information in this question to provide an answer. The more of this fruit you eat, the lower your blood cholesterol will be. There is no correlation between eating this fruit and having a particular level of blood cholesterol. The more of this fruit you eat, the higher your blood cholesterol will be. There is a correlation between eating this fruit and having a particular blood cholesterol, but the value of 0.8 is too low to draw any conclusions.
A correlation of 0.95 for two variables X and Y implies that if X increases, there is a 95% chance that Y will also increase. Is this statement true or false?
A correlation of r = – 0.95 is stronger than r = + 0.70. true or false?
