If the Pearson correlation is measured between two variables X and Y and was - 0.56. This indicates that:  Select one: a. X and Y medium correlation, and if X increases, Y will increase generally  b. X and Y strong correlation, and if X increases, Y will increase generally  c. X and Y strong correlation, and if X increases, Y will decrease generally  d. X and Y medium correlation, and if X increases, Y will decrease generally

I need help on my classwork

Suppose that there is a correlation of r = 0.41 between the amount of time that each student reports studying for an exam and the student's grade on the exam. This correlation would mean that there is a tendency for people who study more to get better grades. Question 21 options: True False

Which of the following correlation coefficient would reflect a conclusion made by a researcher that two variables are not related? r = –.30 r = +.02 r = +.36 r = –.98

Below is data for two variables, X and Y.  Answer the questions that follow.  X Y X-MX Y-MY (X-MX)2 (Y-MY)2 (X-MX)(Y-MY) 3 3 -2 -1 4 1 2 4 3 -1 -1 1 1 ___ 6 4 1 ___ 1 0 0 7 6 2 2 ___ 4 4   Positive or negative correlation?

The following statement contains an error. Choose the statement that best explains the error. "The correlation between shoe size and height is 0.87 inches" A. Correlation requires that both of the variables be categorical B. When stating the correlation coefficient, one must state whether it is a positive or negative relationship C. This statement does not tell us whether or not shoe size is correlated with height D. When reporting correlation, one does not report units because correlation has no units E. There is no error in this statement

For each problem, select the best response. (a) In a scatterplot of the average price of a barrel of oil and the average retail price of a gallon of gasoline, you expect to see A. a positive association. B. very little association. C. a negative association. D. None of the above. (b) If the correlation between two variables is close to 0, you can conclude that a scatterplot would show A. a cloud of points with no visible pattern.B. no straight-line pattern, but there might be a strong pattern of another form. C. a strong straight-line pattern. D. None of the above. (c) You have data for many years on the average price of a barrel of oil and the average retail price of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline. When you make a scatterplot, the explanatory variable on the x -axis A. is the price of gasoline. B. can be either oil price or gasoline price. C. is the price of oil. D. None of the above.

Suppose that for variables x and y,  we find that the correlation coefficent r= .750. Assuming that α=.05α=.05, what is the minimum number of data points n, that is requried so  that a signficant linear correlation is present? a. n=6 b. n=7 c. n=8 d. It cannot be determined from the given data

A random sample of college students was surveyed about how they spend their time each week.  The scatterplot below displays the relationship between the number of hours each student typically works per week at a part- or full-time job and the number of hours of television each student typically watches per week.  The correlation between these variables is r = –0.63, and the equation we would use to predict hours spent watching TV based on hours spent working is as follows:             Predicted hours spent watching TV = 17.21 – 0.23(hours spent working) Since we are using hours spent working to help us predict hours spent watching TV, we’d call hours spent working a(n) __________________ variable and hours spent watching TV a(n) __________________ variable. The correlation coefficient, along with what we see in the scatterplot, tells us that the relationship between the variables has a direction that is _________________ and a strength that is ______________________. According to the…

1945 is paired with cancer rates for 1975. The cigarette consumption data is from 1945 to 1975 in 5-year increments. There is a strong positive linear association between annual cigarette consumption and lung cancer rates. The correlation is 0.81. If we use the line to make predictions of the number of lung cancer deaths per 100,000 people, which of the following is an example of extrapolation? a. Predict Y when cigarette consumption is 3,500 cigarettes per person. b. Predict Y when cigarette consumption is 3,800 cigarettes per person. c. Predict Y when cigarette consumption is 4,600 cigarettes per person.
