Height and reading A researcher studies children in elementary school and finds a strong positive linear asso-ciation between height and reading scores. a) Does this mean that taller children are generally betterreaders?b) What might explain the strong correlation?

What’s the effect? A researcher studying violent behav-ior in elementary school children asks the children’s par-ents how much time each child spends playing computer games and has their teachers rate each child on the levelof aggressiveness they display while playing with otherchildren. Suppose that the researcher finds a moderately strong positive correlation. Describe three different pos-sible cause-and-effect explanations for this relationship.

Sunspots and the DJIA Listed below are annual sunspot numbers paired with annual high values of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). Sunspot numbers are measures of dark spots on the sun, and the DJIA is an index that measures the value of select stocks. The data are from recent and consecutive years. Use a 0.05 significance level to test for a linear correlation between values of the DJIA and sunspot numbers. Is the result surprising?

What is the null hypothesis of a test for correlation? There is correlation in the population. There is positive correlation in the population. There is no correlation in the population. There is negative correlation in the population.

ab! ourses The accompanying technology output was obtained by using the paired data consisting of foot lengths (cm) and heights (cm) of a sample of 40 people. Along with the paired sample data, the technology was also given a foot length of 13.6 cm to be used for predicting height. The technology found that there is a linear correlation between height and foot length. If someone has a foot length of 13.6 cm, what is the single value that is the best predicted height for that person?

Investigation 3.2: Valence Differences Between R&B and Rap Genres (Paired)A music fan claims that R&B songs tend to have a more positive tone on average than do Rapsongs. The individual collected two independent random samples from the population of SpotifySongs. Fifteen R&B songs and another fifteen Rap songs were collected and their Valence wasrecorded. The music fan believed that pairing the song by their Danceability may provideadditional information. Danceability describes how suitable a track is for dancing based on acombination of musical elements including tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overallregularity. A value of 0.0 is least danceable and 1 is most danceable. Thus, the individual pairedthe R&B song with the lowest danceability with the Rap song with the lowest danceability,followed by the second and second, third and third. She continued this process until the R&Bsong with the highest danceability was paired with the Rap song with the…

Tips It’s commonly believed that people use tips toreward good service. A researcher for the hospitalityindustry examined tips and ratings of service qualityfrom 2645 dining parties at 21 different restaurants. The correlation between ratings of service and tip percent-ages was 0.11. (M. Lynn and M. McCall, “Gratitude and Gratuity.” Journal of Socio-Economics 29: 203–214)a) Describe the relationship between Quality of Serviceand Tip Size.b) Find and interpret the value of R2 in this context.

Is there any relationship between overall service quality provided to tourists, the value of money and the likelihood of a return to Hong Kong?
