A Pew Research Center survey found a noticeable rise in smartphone ownership and internet usage in emerging and developing nations, and once online, adults in these nations are hungry for social interaction. The file GLOBALINTERNETUSAGE contains the level of Internet usage, measured as the percentage of adults polled use the Internet at least occasionally or who report owning a smartphone, and the GDP. The file GLOBALSOCIALMEDIA contains the level of social media networking, measured as the percentage of Internet users who use social media sites, and the GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP, current international $) per capita for each of 28 emerging and developing countries.
For the relationship between percentage of Internet users polled who use social networking sites, and GDP and the relationship between the percentage of adults polled who use the Internet at least occasionally and GDP:
- Calculate the
covariance - Calculate the coefficient of
correlation . - Based on (a) and (b), what conclusions can you reach about the relationship between GDP and social media use and the relationship between the percentage of adults polled who use the Internet at least occasionally and GOP?

In 2011 home prices and mortgage rates dropped so low that in a number of cities the monthly cost of owning a home was less expensive than renting. The following data show the average asking rent for 10 markets and the monthly mortgage on the median priced home (including taxes and insurance) for 10 cities where the average monthly mortgage payment was less than the average asking rent (The Wall Street Journal, November 26–27, 2011).Click on the datafile logo to reference the data.
Enter negative values as negative numbers.
a. Develop the estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the monthly mortgage given the average asking rent (to 2 decimals).The regression equation is:Mortgage ($) = + Rent ($)

- Most engaged couples expect or at least hope that they will have high levels of marital satisfaction. However, because 54% of first marriages end in divorce, social scientists have begun investigating influences on marital satisfaction. Suppose a clinical psychologist sets out to look at the role of economic hardship in relationship longevity. She decides to measure marital satisfaction in a group of couples living above the poverty level and a group of couples living below the poverty level. She chooses the Marital Satisfaction Inventory, because it refers to “partner” and “relationship” rather than “spouse” and “marriage,” which makes it useful for research with both traditional and nontraditional couples. Higher scores on the Marital Satisfaction Inventory indicate greater satisfaction. There is one score per couple. Assume that these scores are normally distributed and that the variances of the scores are the same among couples living above the poverty level as among couples…arrow_forwardIn 2007, the United States experienced the biggest jump in food prices in 17 years (The Wall Street Journal, April 1, 2008). A variety of reasons led to this result, including rising demand for meat and dairy products in emerging overseas markets, increased use of grains for alternative fuels, and bad weather in some parts of the world. A survey compared prices (in $) of selected products at grocery stores in the Boston area. The accompanying table shows the results.
