a. Compute the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient by hand and show all and show all your work.
b. Construct a scatterplot for these 10 values by hand. Based on the scatterplot, would you predict the correlation to be direct or indirect? Why?
4. Use SPSS to determine the correlation between hours of studying and grade point average in these honor students. Why is the correlation so low?

8. When two variables are correlated (such as strength and running speed), it also means that they are associated with one another. But if they are associated with one another, then why doesn't one cause the other?
1. Go to the library and find five journal articles in your area of interest in which reliability and validity data are reported, and discuss the outcome measures that are used. Identify the type of reliability that was established and the type of validity, and comment on whether you think that the levels are acceptable. If not, how can they be improved?
3. You are developing an instrument that measures vocational preferences (what you want to be), and you need to administer the test several times during the year while students are attending a vocational program. You need to assess the test-retest reliability of the test and the data from two administrations (available as Chapter 6 Data set 1 one in the Fall and one in the spring). Would you call this a reliable test? Why or why not?
