Dr. Farah is an educational psychologist who is interested in studying the potential causal relationship between doing homework and academic achievement. In January, Dr. Farah has her students report their fall GPA (a measure of academic achievement) and estimate how many hours they spent doing homework during a typical week in the fall semester. In May, Dr. Farah measures the same variables again (the estimated number of hours spent doing homework during a typical week in the spring semester and their spring GPA). She finds the following correlations.
Imagine that Dr. Farah noted a cyclical, reinforcing relationship between homework and academic achievement. For this to be case, which of the following correlations would need to be significant?
a. Correlations 1 and 6
b. Correlations 2 and 5
c. Correlations 3 and 4
d. Correlations 2 and 3
Answer is C for this question. Why this one is the answer and others are not?

Individuals with strong religious beliefs often turn to their faith to cope with stressful life events. Relying on God's love and caring is referred to as
positive religious coping.
Andrea Phelps and her colleagues studied the relationship between positive religious coping and the type of care received by terminally ill cancer
patients. Most of the patients in the study were Christian. [Source: Phelps, A. et al., "Religious coping and use of intensive life-prolonging care
near death in patients with advanced cancer." Journal of the American Medical Association, 301 (2009): 1140-1147.]
Suppose another researcher conducts a similar study but uses a sample of patients whose religious traditions are more varied than the patients in
the Phelps study. He samples 400 terminally ill patients to see whether their practicing a religion is related to how likely they are to seek intensive
life-prolonging care.
The following table shows the results of the study.

One common area of concern for auto insurance companies is the risk involved when offering policies to younger, less experienced drivers.

You decide to measure depression in a group of victims and a group of bully-victims using a 26-item, 3-point depression scale. Assume scores on the depression scale are normally distributed and that the variances of the depression scores are the same among victims and bully-victims. The group of 25 victims scored an average of 25.3 with a sample standard deviation of 9 on the depression scale.
