11. Variance

13. Correlation: r =.60

14. Book: Figure 2.1 (p. 15)

16. Equals 85 fewer deaths among patients of 10,845 study physicians (OR 5,408 deaths among all 690,000 US physicians)

17. Correlation: r = -.67

18. Correlation: r =.19

19. 313 Exam 1 How do you calculate variance from correlation? a.Take the square root of the correlation b.Multiply the correlation by alpha c.Take the square of the correlation d.The two measures are unrelated

20. Correlation: r = -.29 Effect of restricting range

21. Correlation: r =.60 Prediction? Causation?

24. Could some people be “faking good” on Neuroticism?
