a) B
b) B. The pattern shows the roughly positive linear correlation
c) r = 0.82
d) A. It could be that higher test scores causes longer study times. This is a reasonable direction of causality, as higher test scores motivate students to study more.
An instructor asked five students how many hours they had studied for an exam, with the...
(c) Figure the correlation coefficient. r= (Round to two decimal places as needed.) (d) Give three logically possible directions of causality, saying for each whether it is a reasonable direction in light of the variables involved. Select all that apply. A. It could be that higher test scores cause longer study times. This is not a reasonable direction of causality, as the tests would have been graded after study time. B. It could be that longer study times cause higher...

4. A survey asked a random sample of 363 first-year students how many hours they studied during a particular week. The mean was 15.3 hours. Suppose we know that the population standard deviation is 8.5 hours. Construct a 90%, 95% and 99% confidence interval for the mean study time of all first year students at this university. Interpret the 90% confidence interval.
Do students reduce study time in classes where they achieve a higher midterm score? In a Journal of Economic Education article (Winter 2005), Gregory Krohn and Catherine O'Connor studied student effort and performance in a class over a semester. In an intermediate macroeconomics course, they found that "students respond to higher midterm scores by reducing the number of hours they subsequently allocate to studying for the course." Suppose that a random sample of n = 8 students who performed well...
Dean Halverson recently read that full-time college students study 20 hours each week. She decides to do a study at her university to see if there is evidence that students study an average of less than 20 hours each week. A random sample of 32 students were asked to keep a diary of their activities over a period of several weeks. It was found that he average number of hours that the 32 students studied each week was 19.1 hours....
Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. The students in group 1 were asked to spend 5 minutes thinking about what it would mean to be a professor, while the students in group 2 were asked to think about soccer hooligans. These pretest thoughts are a form of priming. The 200 students in group 1 had a mean score of 26.2 with a standard deviation...

TEST 1: ANSWERS INTS EACH). This section takes around 5 minutes. Name Spring 2019 8) A researcher wants to determine whether female teachers give higher or lower grades, on average, then male teachers. She picks a random sample by picking a random sample of schools, in the schools picked, picking a random sample of departments, and in the departments picked, picking a random sample of teachers. What kind of sampling was performed? d) voluntary response e) cluster b) stratified Random...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
