a. there is no relationship between the two variables
b. there is a strong linear relationship between the two variables
c. it is impossible to tell if there is a relationship between the two variables.
d. the slope of the regression line will be close to one.
2. Given the following data pairs (x, y), find the regression equation.
(1, 1.24), (2, 5.23), (3, 7.24), (4, 7.60), (5, 9.97), (6, 14.31), (7, 13.99), (8, 14.88), (9,
18.04), (10, 20.70)
a. y = 0.490x – 0.053
b. y = 2.04x
c. y = 1.98x + 0.436
d. y = 0.49x

b. r = 0.985
c. r = 0.971
d. r = 0.240
4. Using the data from no. 2, obtain a prediction for x = 4.5.
a. 2.15 b. 2.21 c. 9.18 d. 9.34

B. Perform as directed.
1. It is hypothesized that there are fluctuations in norepinephrine (NE) levels which
accompany fluctuations in affect with bipolar affective disorder (manic-depressive
illness). Thus, during depressive states, NE levels drop; during manic states, NE levels
increase. To test this relationship, researchers measured the level of NE by
measuring the metabolite 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyglycol (MHPG in micro gram
per 24 hour) in the patient’s urine experiencing varying levels of mania/ depression.
Increased levels of MHPG are correlated with increased metabolism (thus higher
levels) of central nervous system NE. Levels of mania/ depression were also
recorded on a scale with a low score indicating increased mania and a high score
increased depression. The data is provided below.

 MHPG 980 1209 1403 1950 1814 1280 1073 1066 880 776
Affect 22 26 8 10 5 19 26 12 23 28

a. Compute the correlation coefficient.

b. What does this statistics mean concerning the relationship between MHPG levels
and affect?
c. What would be the slope and y-intercept for a regression line based on these
data?
d. What would be the predicted affect score if the individual had an MHPG level of
1100? of 950? of 700?

2. A psychologist wants to determine whether there is a relationship between how

long it takes a subject to complete a manual task and the number of hours of sleep
the subject had the night before. The results from a study of 10 people are given in
the following table.
Hours of sleep 6.2 8.1 7.5 8.4 5.0 6.2 4.8 8.0 3.8 5.9
Minutes to complete task 9.0 8.6 8.4 8.6 10.0 9.3 9.9 8.9 10.4 9.1
a. Find the linear correlation coefficient for the data.

Find the y- intercept a.

a= Mny- bMny= (270.42)(6.39) = -(1,718.76)

weight is demonstrated in the following table. Find the regression equation and
what the predicted weight is when age is 8.5 years.
