a) B
b) B. The pattern shows the roughly positive linear correlation
c)
r = 0.82
d) A. It could be that higher test scores causes longer study times. This is a reasonable direction of causality, as higher test scores motivate students to study more.
An instructor asked five students how many hours they had studied for an exam, with the...
(c) Figure the correlation coefficient. r= (Round to two decimal places as needed.) (d) Give three logically possible directions of causality, saying for each whether it is a reasonable direction in light of the variables involved. Select all that apply. A. It could be that higher test scores cause longer study times. This is not a reasonable direction of causality, as the tests would have been graded after study time. B. It could be that longer study times cause higher...

Prof. Gersch wishes to find a relationship between how many hours students study and how they do on a departmental test. He takes a random sample of 50 students, asks how many hours they studied for their test and how they did on the test, enters the data into a computer for analysis and finds the relation is given by the following regression equation: GRADE = 45.2 + 10.1*HOURS Based on the regression model, what grade would a student...
4. A survey asked a random sample of 363 first-year students how many hours they studied during a particular week. The mean was 15.3 hours. Suppose we know that the population standard deviation is 8.5 hours. Construct a 90%, 95% and 99% confidence interval for the mean study time of all first year students at this university. Interpret the 90% confidence interval.

1. Which of the following tests would you use to explore the relationship between two ordinal variables? a. Phi correlation b. Pearson’s product-moment correlation c. Spearman's rank-order correlation d. Point-biserial correlation 2. Thirty people took part in a study to see the extent to which musical ability is related to math proficiency. The researchers observed each each subject as they played piano and scored their proficiency with piano. Subjects also took a math test. Two sets of scores were then...
Do students reduce study time in classes where they achieve a higher midterm score? In a Journal of Economic Education article (Winter 2005), Gregory Krohn and Catherine O'Connor studied student effort and performance in a class over a semester. In an intermediate macroeconomics course, they found that "students respond to higher midterm scores by reducing the number of hours they subsequently allocate to studying for the course." Suppose that a random sample of n = 8 students who performed well...
Dean Halverson recently read that full-time college students study 20 hours each week. She decides to do a study at her university to see if there is evidence that students study an average of less than 20 hours each week. A random sample of 32 students were asked to keep a diary of their activities over a period of several weeks. It was found that he average number of hours that the 32 students studied each week was 19.1 hours....
Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. The students in group 1 were asked to spend 5 minutes thinking about what it would mean to be a professor, while the students in group 2 were asked to think about soccer hooligans. These pretest thoughts are a form of priming. The 200 students in group 1 had a mean score of 26.2 with a standard deviation...
