A positive correlation (r=60) is found between time spent outside at age four and creativity in kindergarten.
Describe what prediction can be made in regards to creativity in kindergartden for a child who spent a lot of time outside at age four.
If a journalist made an error in causality when writing an article about these findings, what would they be concluding based on this scenario?
If the researcher had a sample size of 13 and started with a directional hypothesis, what was the critical r value?
Should she reject or fail to reject her null hypothesis?
A positive correlation (r=0.60) is found between time spent outside at age four and creativity in kindergarten.Describe what prediction can be made in regards to creativity in kindergarten for a child who spent a lot of time outside at age four.
A child who spent a lot of time outside at age four has more creativity in kindergarten.
If a journalist made an error in causality when writing an article about these findings, what would they be concluding based on this scenario?
Journalist concluded that child who spent a lot of time outside at age four causes creativity in kindergarten.
If the researcher had a sample size of 13 and started with a directional hypothesis, what was the critical r value?
Df=n-2=13-2=11
Critical value ( one sided)= 0.476
Should she reject or fail to reject her null hypothesis?
Since calculated r=0.60 is > 0.476, we reject the null hypothesis.
