Which of these molues represents the weakest correlation? A. -0.55 a. -0.45 c. -0.35 D. -0.25

The first step involved in calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient is to sum all the scores square all the scores calculate the standard deviation for each variable

Coffee consumption has been found to be negatively correlated with amount of sleep, with a correlation coefficient of 0.5 . How much can the coffee consumption account for the variance of amount of sleep? \( 0.5 \% \) \( 50 \% \) \( 0.25 \% \) \( 25 \% \)

Researchers who study the process of reading in children have discovered that better readers watch fewer hours of television. If a scatterplot of the data is drawn, the points on the graph would likely run from ___ left to right. upper; lower upper; upper lower; upper lower; lower

If all the points on a scatterplot fall on a single line, then the relation between the variables is weak the variables are causally related the relation between the variables is perfect there is no relation between the variables

\begin{tabular}{l} In a re-analysis of published studies, Twenge and Im (2007) found that for the \\ time period 1958-2001, the need for social approval of people in the United \\ States was negatively correlated with the U.S. divorce rate during the same \\ period (the correlation coefficient was -0.38). This correlation means that _- \\ divorce rates were high when the need for social approval was high \\ the need for social approval spurred people to divorce \\ the need for social approval prevented people from seeking divorce \\ divorce rates were low when the need for social approval was high \\ \hline\end{tabular}
