Researchers were interested in assessing whether stress levels at the beginning of the semester are related to (i.e., correlated with) stress levels during finals week. To test this, stress was measured in 5 students at the start of the semester and then again at the end of the semester during finals week.

Based on this correlation, she asserts that A is the cause of B. Is this assertion correct? EXPLAIN.arrow_forwarda pearson correlation value (r) indicates the exact degree of accuracy in which a researcher can predict a participant score on a second variable from their score on a first variable true or false?arrow_forward
- A correlation coefficient close to zero is a strong indicator of a positive linear relationship between two variables.arrow_forwardA negative correlation indicates: the values on the two variables being analyzed move in opposite directions. a higher score on one variable is related to a higher score on the other variable. the scores of each case in a sample simultaneously on two variables the value on the two variables being analyzed move in the same direction.arrow_forward1) Match each of the five scatterplots to the appropriate correlation coefficient and equation of regression line.

Identify the classification of the independent variable (discrete or continuous) and explain the reason for your choice. Discuss what measure of central tendency is the most appropriate for each variable (independent and dependent variable) making sure to explain why.arrow_forwarda )Do these data provide good evidence that increasing the temperature causes the yield to increase, within the range of the data? Or might the result be due to confounding? Explain.arrow_forwardCan you help me out by showing me an example of a weak positive correlation scatter plot? with a relistic example that shows the two variables that demonstrate this pattern?arrow_forward
- When an interaction is present, is it appropriate to interpret a significant main effect as meaningful? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardWhich scatterplot shows a strong association between two variables even though the correlation coefficient is probably near zero because it's not linear?arrow_forwarda) Do these data provide good evidence that increasing the stirring rate causes the yield to increase, within the range of the data?
