Valid Not Valid A Generally, as the number of activities increases, the grade point average increases. B Generally, as the number of activities increases, the grade point average decreases. C Generally, as the number of activities increases, the grade point average stays about the same. D The data indicates that increases in the number of activities cause the grade point average to increase. E The data indicates increases in grade point average cause students to increase the number of activities in which they are involved. F There is a strong negative relationship between the number of activities and grade point average. G There is a strong positive relationship between the number of activities and grade point average. H There is very little relationship between the number of activities and grade point average.

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

First of all, this is an observational study. So, we cannot make any "cause-effect" conclusions.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

therefore D and D are not valid correct?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

You mean D and E are not valid ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes because they are cause and effect

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

oh yeah D and E

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Good. D and E are not valid

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Lets look at other options

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

I think A and G are the only valid ones...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I'd go with A and H

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

why H can you explain please

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

have a look at this http://image.mathcaptain.com/cms/images/106/positive-correlation.png

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

oh ok because is not strong?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yeah the points are kinda spread out, so I feel it is not a strong positive correlation...

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

ok thank you :) btw if I have more questions can I tag you?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Sure..

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

it told me it was incorrect :( what did we do wrong?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

How many more chances do you have ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

1 more :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Maybe you're correct. A and G are the only valid options

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

i just thought about it because of the correlation coefficient

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Correlation coefficient is 0.3 right ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

which is 0.86 and is closer so one than it is to 0.50

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

no is 0.86

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Ohh it is 0.86 !

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

You're totally correct then

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

lol I hope so

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I have overlooked that sorry

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yup it was correct :D

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

nah no worries it happens :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Awesome!

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):
