Why is it advisable to generate a scatterplot before computing a correlation coefficient between two variables? Describe how a scatterplot might differ when viewing correlations that represent positive, negative, and no relationship between predictor and criterion variables. Is it possible to have a relation between variables that systematic (i.e., reliable and predictable) yet not linear?

When the following oxidation–reduction reaction is balanced with lowest whole-number coefficients, what is the coefficient for Mn2+(aq)? __MnO4–(aq) + __C2H5CHO(aq) + __H+ (aq) → __Mn2+(aq) + __C2H5COOH(aq) +__ H2O(l) When I balanced this equation I got the following: 1MnO4–(aq) + 1C2H5CHO(aq) + 6H+ (aq) → 1Mn2+(aq) + 1C2H5COOH(aq) +3 H2O(l) so therefore, the answer would be 1. However, the answer is 2. Can someone explain why the answer is 2 and what I did wrong?

When stress is high, our bodies kick out several stress hormones which, if not used for their purpose (fight or flight) they tend to wreak havoc on various organs and the immune system. Physical exercise is considered the best way to keep our body in balance. Exercise does not have to be all that hard or time consuming. We just need to make time to exercise. Mark Twaine said “Oh, I get the urge to exercise every now and then,...
