20. A newspaper article claims that the acad lated to the rank of its football team. From a sample of 28 colleges, you obtain a correlation coefficient of -.32. (a) Which type of correlation coefficient did .05, what is the critical you compute? (b) What are Ho and H₂? (c) With a = value? (d) What should you conclude about the accuracy of the newspaper's claim? (e) In predicting a particular school's academic ranking in your sample, how important is it that you look at the school's football ranking?

The Coefficient or rank correlation of the marks obtained by 10 students in two particular subjects was found to be 0.5. It was later discovered that the difference in ranks in two subjects obtained by one of the students was wrongly taken as 3 instead of 7. What should be the correct value of coefficient of rank correlation,
Researchers were interested in assessing whether stress levels at the beginning of the semester are related to (i.e., correlated with) stress levels during finals week. To test this, stress was measured in 5 students at the start of the semester and then again at the end of the semester during finals week. Participant Stress 1 Stress 2 (X - MX) (Y - MY) (X - MX) (Y - MY) (X - MX)2 (Y - MY)2 1 22 22 -4.4 -6 2 32 34 5.6 6 3 24 25 -2.4 -3 4 28 30 1.6 2 5 26 29 -0.4 1 What is the observed correlation coefficient (i.e., r value)?
Are there ever any circumstances when a correlation such as Pearson’s r can be interpreted as evidence for a casual connection between two variables? If yes, what circumstances?
For 9 observations on supply (X) and price (Y) the following data are obtained∑(X-90) = -25 , ∑(X-90)2 = 301, ∑(Y-127) = 12, ∑(Y-127)2 = 1006∑(X-90) ∑(Y-127) = -469. Compute correlation coefficient?
You are interested in knowing whether wealthier people are happier. You collected data from fifty people about their incomes and their overall happiness levels on a scale of 1 to 10. Upon analyzing the results, you find that the correlation coefficient has a value of -0.25. On the basis of this data, respond to the following: • How would you interpret the correlation coefficient in terms of strength and direction?
