Gretchen wants to see if the GPA of teachers who recently graduated from university was related to their starting salaries at their first teaching position. She manages to find a small sample of new teachers to get data from. Both variables seems to have a normal distribution and a scatterplot suggests there may be a linear relationship. Which correlation coefficient should she tell SPSS to calculate?

An educator wants to see how strong the relationship between a student's score on a test and his or her grade point average. The data obtained from the sample follow. Score X | 98 | 105 | 100 | 100 | 106 | 95 | 116 | 112 GPA Y | 2.1 | 2.4 | 3.2 | 2.7 | 2.2 | 2.3 | 3.8 | 3.4 a. Construct a Scatter plot for the data b. Test the significance of the correlation coefficient at α = 0.05. c. Find the equation of the regression line. d. Find the value of the correlation coefficient r. e. Use the equation for the regression line, to predict the GPA of a student whose score is 110.

A statistics instructor computes the grade and percentage of classes that each of his students attends. Construct a scatterplot from the data displayed next. Attendance 47 60 65 86 91 98 100 Grade 58 89 75 90 90 82 95 Does a relationship exist between attendance and grade? If it does, clarify if it is positive, negative or no correlation.

An educator wants to determine the difference between the proportion of males and females who have completed 4 or more years of college. What sample size should be obtained if she wishes the estimate to be within two percentage points with $90 \%$ confidence, assuming that (a) she uses the 1999 estimates of $27.5 \%$ male and $23.1 \%$ female from the U.S. Census Bureau? (b) she does not use any prior estimates?
