A recent article in an educational research journal reports a correlation of +0.8 between math achievement and overall math aptitude.
It also reports a correlation of -0.8 between math achievement and a math anxiety test.
Which of the following interpretations is the most correct?
The correlation of +0.8 is just as strong as the correlation of -0.8.
The negative correlation is an error.
O t is impossible to tell which correlation is stronger.
O The correlation of +0.8 indicates a stronger relationship than the correlation of -0.8.
A correlation of 0.95 for two variables X and Y implies that if X increases, there is a 95% chance that Y will also increase.
Is this statement true or false?
First-born children tend to develop language skills faster than their younger siblings. One possible explanation for this phenomenon is that first-born children have undivided attention from their parents. If this explanation is correct, then it is also reasonable that twins should show slower language development than single children and that triplets should be even slower. In 1937, Davis found exactly this result. The following hypothetical data demonstrate this relationship. The dependent variable is a measure of language skill at age three. Do the data provide evidence for significant differences between the three populations? Test at the .05 level.
