A researcher is examining the effect of neighborhood crime-watch efforts have on the crime rate in those neighborhoods, but he is not sure what direction the relationship might be; neighborhoods with high crime rates might have more crime watch efforts that are an attempt to address the high level of crime, or neighborhoods with high crime rates may have fewer crime watch efforts, which might explain why they have so much crime. The appropriate hypothesis test would be:

A sociologist recorded the number of contacts entered in a cell phone and the number of texts sent in a week for 20 cell phone users. The resulting data were used to conduct a hypothesis test to investigate whether there is a linear relationship between the number of contacts and the number of texts sent. What are the correct hypotheses for the test? H0:β1=0Ha:β1≠0H0:β1=0Ha:β1≠0 A H0:β1=0Ha:β1>0H0:β1=0Ha:β1>0 B H0:β1=0Ha:β1<0H0:β1=0Ha:β1<0 C H0:β1≠0Ha:β1=0H0:β1≠0Ha:β1=0 D H0:b1=0Ha:b1≠0 E

A hypothetical study looks at the effect of drinking alcohol on health. Across all genders and age groups, people who do not drink tend to be healthier on average than people who do drink. However, people who drink regularly are on average healthier than those people who have recently stopped drinking. Is it reasonable to conclude that for the sake of health, we should not start drinking, but if we have already started drinking alcohol, it is healthier to continue and not to stop?
