5) A researcher finds that there is a positive correlation between number of hours a person sleeps
the night before an exam (variable X) and their performance on the exam (variable Y). However,
they are concerned that this relationship only exists because of conscientiousness (variable Z).
Specifically, conscientious people tend to get more sleep and also tend to perform well on tests.
Using the data below, please determine where there is a relationship between hours of sleep one
gets the night before an exam and performance on the exam after accounting for the role of
conscientiousness (alpha = .05, two-tailed).

We controlled this relationship for “race,” a variable that had three categories: whites, blacks, and others. Suppose you learned that the gamma for this relationship among whites was -.61, for blacks, was -.54 and for others, was -.44. What kind of elaboration, in your view, would you have uncovered?
The final grade for STAT2 students depends on multiple factors . However, one of the strongest predictors is the number of hours of study per week. The correlation between the two is moderate and positive, with r = 0.7.
For one of the students the number of hours of study per week is 1 SD below average. We can predict that this student will obtain a final grade that is...

We look at the table in our text for the critical value and determine that this correlation coefficient is significant. So, we know that our findings show that people with higher income are more likely to have higher IQ. These variables are related to each other.

- A researcher finds that the correlation between income and a scale measuring interest in work is 0.55 (Pearson’s r) which is non-significant since p is greater than 0.05. This finding is compared to another study sing the same variables and measures which found the correlation to be 0.46 and p < 0.001. How could this contrast arise? In other words, how could the larger correlation be non-significant and the smaller correlation be significant?arrow_forwardA set of n=4 pairs of X and Y value has SSx=6, SSy=18, and SP=9, for these data, what is the pearson correlation?arrow_forward
