Your research team has been tasked with finding the correlation of the following scenario:

Four research participants take a test of manual dexterity (high scores mean better dexterity) and an anxiety test (high scores mean more anxiety). The scores are as follows:

Person                         Dexterity                      Anxiety

1                                  1                                  10

2                                  1                                    8

3                                  2                                    4

4                                  4 -2

Describe the process your research team would go through by completing the following:

  1. Create a scatter diagram of the scores.
  1. Describe in words the general pattern of correlation, if any.
  1. Figure the correlation coefficient.
  1. Explain the logic of what you have done, writing as if you are speaking to someone who has never heard of correlation (but who does understand the mean, standard deviation, Z scores, and hypothesis testing).   
  1. Provide three logically possible directions of causality, indicating for each direction whether it is a reasonable explanation for the correlation based on the variables involved. Explain your answer.

A machine can be purchased for $226,000 and used for five years, yielding the following net incomes. In projecting net incomes, double-declining depreciation is applied using a five-year life and a zero salvage value.

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Net income $ 22,500 $ 44,000 $ 77,000 $ 46,000 $ 108,000


Compute the machine’s payback period (ignore taxes). (Round payback period answer to 3 decimal places.)

Suppose the store owner actually pays $2.00 for each copy of the magazine and the price to customers is $4.00. If magazines left at the end of the week have no salvage value, is it better to order three or four copies of the magazine? [Hint: For both three and four copies ordered, express net revenue as a function of demand X, and then compute the expected revenue.]

*What is the expected profit if three magazines are ordered? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

*What is the expected profit if four magazines are ordered? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

*How many magazines should the store owner order?

-3 magazines
