QUESTION #1 (10 PTS) Provide an example of two quantitative variables that are positively associated/correlated. Indicate which one is your x-variable and your y-variable. Explain your reasoning as to why you think they are positively associated. Write your final answer below: Provide an example of two quantitative variables that are negatively associated/correlated. Indicate which one is your x-variable and your y-variable. Explain your reasoning as to why you think they are negatively associated. Write your final answer below:

Give an example of variables that have correlation but no causation exists? [1 sentence or a graph] Suppose the correlation between two quantitative variables was found to be very close to 0. Why can't we say this automatically means there is no relationship between the variables? [1 sentence] What does a negative correlation value say about the relationship between two quantitative variables? [1 sentence] What happens to the value for correlation if you switch which variable is x and which is y? Explain. [2 sentences] Why is the correlation coefficient between aggregate data stronger than between individual data? [2 sentences] What is the problem with using a regression equation to predict what will happen in the distant future?

Give me a real-life example of Two variables that have a strong positive correlation. Use Google or other research methods to find the correlation coefficient to support your claim. What reasons or conditions attribute to the strong correlation? Do some research, but do not make up a numerical example. Two variables that have a strong negative correlation. Use Google or other research methods to find the correlation coefficient to support your claim. What reasons or conditions attribute to the strong correlation? Do some research, but do not make up a numerical example.
