In investigating whether stress is a factor in aging, telomere length was measured in women with chronically ill children, and compared to the number of years since the child's diagnosis. Use the following summary data to calculate the correlation coefficient between telomere length and chronocity: Summary data: Sum of products: -11.564 Sum of squares for chronicity: 311.422 Sum of squares for telomere length: 2.499 Total sample size: 39

Pairs of genetically related people were examined with regard to the rate at which they metabolize glucose. For 25 pairs of individuals that had each of the following relationships, correlation coefficients for glucose metabolism were determined: Mother-daughter: 0.36 Mother-granddaughter: 0.17e Sister-sister: 0.39 Sister-sister (fraternal twins): 0.40 Sister-sister (identical twins): 0.77 What is the average heritability for the rate of glucose metabolism in this group of females?
