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?

Does a major league baseball team's record during spring training indicate how the team will play during the regular season? Over a six-year period, the correlation coefficient between a team's winning percentage in spring training and its winning percentage in the regular season is 0.18. Shown are the winning percentages for the 14 American League teams during a season. Spring Regular Spring Regular Team Training Season Team Training Season Baltimore Orioles 0.409 0.424 Minnesota Twins 0.490 0.542 Boston Red Sox 0.423 0.588 New York Yankees 0.575 0.554 Chicago White Sox 0.412 0.568 Oakland A's 0.696 0.468 Cleveland Indians 0.570 0.490 Seattle Mariners 0.490 0.379 Detroit Tigers 0.570 0.459 Tampa Bay Rays 0.741 0.601 Kansas City Royals 0.521 0.464 Texas Rangers 0.648 0.473 Los Angeles Angels 0.734 0.619 Toronto Blue Jays 0.442 0.533 a.

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?
