A researcher is investigating the relationship between economic development (x) and level of religiosity (y) in ten countries. (The researcher has interval-level measurements for both variables.) The researcher theorizes that citizens of countries at the lower end of the development scale will profess higher levels or religiosity than will citizens of countries at the higher end of the development scale. As development increases, religiosity decreases. Draw and label four sets of axes, like the one below:
(E) Suppose the researcher finds a correlation of -.7 between the independent and dependent variables. In the fourth set of axes, show what a correlation of -.7 would look like. (Just make it look plausible. It doesn't have to be precise.)
(F) Based on a correlation of -7, the researcher concludes, "Level of economic development explains 70 percent of the variation in level of religiosity." Is this correct? Explain. (Hint: Review the difference between Pearson's r and R2.)

A researcher suspects that there is a relationship between an individual’s level of impulsiveness is inversely related to their memory. To test this hypothesis, she administers scale measuring impulsiveness and a free recall test, to a group of 12 volunteers. The impulsiveness scale yields a score ranging from 1 to 10, where higher scores indicate greater amounts of impulsiveness. The free recall test is scored in terms of the number of items correctly recalled from a 20 item list The...
