For the paired z scores in the following table, compute the value for Pearson's r using the z score formula, and then answer the questions that follow.

[Note that these sets of scores look like z scores, but each set does not actually have a mean of zero and SD of 1.0. Nonetheless, this exercise will give you practice with the z score formula, and the result is realistic.]
