Post pairs of variables that exhibit positive correlation, negative correlation and no correlation. Could any of the proposed correlated variables be the result of causation? How could an experiment be designed to establish causation? Would it be ethical to do such an experiment? What percentage of the variation in the response variable do you think can be explained by the predictor variable? Do you think there are any lurking variables in your situation?
Sample Student Response
Positive Correlation: rain and the rate the grass grows. Yes there is causation. We could do an experiment to measure the effect or rain on grass growth rate. We can just observe this, but if we want to say causation we need experimentation. I would guess about 75% of the variation in grass growth rate could be explained by the amount of rainfall. Lurking variables might be temperature, fertilizer, sunshine, type of soil...
Negative Correlation: The more I study the less free time I have. Yes there is potential causation. We could design an experiment on this to see if additional studying does reduce free time for people. This may be unethical if it would negatively affect a student’s grade, so it might be best to just do an observational study. I would guess about 50% of the variation in free time could be explained by the amount to study time. Lurking variables might be hours at the workplace, family obligations, sickness, laziness,...
No Correlation: A person’s head circumference and the quantity of text messages a day. The rest of these questions are moot.

To illustrate the effects of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, a police officer brought a DUI simulator to a local high school. Student reaction time in an emergency was measured with unimpaired vision and also while wearing a pair of special goggles to simulate the effects of alcohol on vision. For a random sample of nine teenagers, the time (in seconds) required to bring the vehicle to a stop from a speed of 60 miles per hour was recorded. Complete parts (a) and (b). Note: A normal probability plot and boxplot of the data indicate that the differences are approximately normally distributed with no outliers. LOADING... Click the icon to view the data table. (a) Whether the student had unimpaired vision or wore goggles first was randomly selected. Why is this a good idea in designing the experiment? A. This is a good idea in designing the experiment because reaction times are different. B. This is a good idea in designing the experiment because the sample size is not large enough. C. This is a good idea in designing the experiment because it controls for any "learning" that may occur in using the simulator. Your answer is correct. (b) Use a 95% confidence interval to test if there is a difference in braking time with impaired vision and normal vision where the differences are computed as "impaired minus normal." The 95% confidence interval is ( nothing, nothing). (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)

Michael has a box of colored balls. It contains two red balls, three green balls, one purple ball, two yellow balls, and five blue balls. Michael will perform an experiment which goes as follows.
First, a ball is drawn from the box at random, the color of the
ball is noted (R for red, G for green, etc.), and the ball is set
aside (i.e. not replaced into the box). The next stage of the
experiment depends on the color of the ball Michael draws. If the
ball is red, he will draw another ball and note its color. If the
ball he draws at the beginning is green, he will draw five more
balls, simultaneously and at random, and note how many of the balls
he has drawn are red. Otherwise (if the ball drawn at the beginning
is neither green nor red), he will flip a coin and note the result
(H for heads, T for tails). Thus, for example, BH, RR, and G2 are
three possible outcomes of the experiment.
Let S denote the sample space of the experiment, and let E denote
the event that the ball drawn at the beginning is blue.
What is n(S)?
What is n(E′)?
Andre's dog Fifi knows fifteen tricks, five of which are
interesting. Fifi does a show by performing either two or three
different tricks one after another. If the first two tricks are
both interesting, she will perform a third trick; otherwise, she
only performs two tricks.
How many different shows could Fifi do?

Python 3 Forming Functions
Define and complete the functions described below.
* function name: say_hi
* parameters: none
* returns: N/A
* operation:
just say "hi" when called.
* expected output:
>>> say_hi()
hi
* function name: personal_hi
* parameters: name (string)
* returns: N/A
* operation:
Similar to say_hi, but you should include the name argument in the
greeting.
* expected output:
>>> personal_hi("Samantha")
Hi, Samantha
* function name: introduce
* parameters: name1 (string)
name2 (string)
* returns: N/A
* operation:
Here you are simply including the two names in a basic
introduction.
* expected output:
>>> introduce("Samantha","Jerome")
Samantha: Hi, my name is Samantha!
Jerome: Hey, Samantha. Nice to meet you. My name is Jerome.
