<br />

<br />

Make a scatter diagram of the scores.<br />

Describe in words the general pattern of correlation, if any.


Figure the correlation coefficient.<br />

Figure whether the correlation is statistically significant (use the .05 significance level,<br />

two-tailed).<br />

Explain the logic of what you have done, writing as if you are speaking to someone<br />

who has never heard of correlation (but who does understand the mean, standard<br />

deviation, Z scores, and hypothesis testing).<br />

Give three logically possible directions of causality, indicating for each direction<br />

whether it is a reasonable explanation for the correlation in light of the variables involved<br />

(and why).
