Concept explainers
The researchers cited in the previous problem also examined the weight/salary relationship for men and found a positive relationship, suggesting that we have very different standards for men than for women (Judge & Cable. 2010). The following arc data similar to those obtained for working men. Again, weight relative to height is coded in five categories from 1 = thinnest to 5 = heaviest. Income is recorded as thousands earned annually.
a. Calculate the Pearson
b. Is the correlation statistically significant? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.
Weight (X) | Income (Y) |
4 | 156 |
3 | 88 |
5 | 49 |
2 | 73 |
1 | 45 |
3 | 92 |
