For which of these research situations would you most likely calculate a correlation coefficient 1- independent variable = type of car owned; dependent variable = money spent on gasoline per week 2- independent variable = city of residence; dependent variable = miles driven per week 3- independent variable = age; dependent variable = reaction time in milliseconds 4- independent variable = college major; dependent variable = type of car owned Which of these is the main reason for creating a scatterplot between two variables? A) To determine if the relationship is linear B) To determine whether the relationship is statistically significant C) To determine the strength (+/-) of the correlation D) To determine whether you need to collect more data

Identify the variables and assign a correlation of 1, 0.9, 0, -0.9, or -1 to each of the following scenarios, qualitatively. a) Each student scored exactly 10 points less on the final exam than they did on the midterm. b) The distance to a location decreases by roughly 50 miles for each hour someone has been traveling, though there is some variation. c) Taller students nearly always weigh more on average, but there is some variation. d) Every student in the sample had the same number of eyes, regardless of their GPA.
