An observational study found that the amount of sleep an employee gets each night is associated with job performance. The correl

ation coefficient was found to be r=0.86. A reader of the study concluded that more sleep causes employees to perform better. Why is such a conclusion not correct?
A)The correlation value should equal 1 for such a conclusion.
B)The correlation value should be negative for such a conclusion.
C)The sample was not representative of the population.
D) Causation cannot be determined from an observational study.
E) The correlation value implies that less than 75% of the variability in job performance can be explained by sleep.

Answer:

The correct option is D.) Causation cannot be determined from an observational study.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conclusion is not correct because

D.) Causation cannot be determined from an observational study.

Causation determined from an observational study is speculative and cannot be confirmed without data from a real experiment.

In choice situations of this type, subjects often exhibit the "center stage effect," which is a tendency to choose the item in t
victus00 [196]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

The probability that he or she would choose the pair of socks in the center position is   p =\frac{1}{5}

The correct answer choice is

X has a binomial distribution with parameters n=100 and p=1/5  

b

The mean is  \mu = 20

The standard deviation is \sigma=4

c

The probability, P =0.0002

d

The correct answer is

The experiment supports the center stage effect. If participants were truly picking the socks at random, it would be highly unlikely for 34 or more to choose the center pair.

Using the R the probability Pe = 0.0003

The probabilities P \approx Pe

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the person selects his or her desired pair of socks at random , then the probability that the person would choose the pair of socks in the center position from all the five identical pair is mathematically evaluated as

                  p =\frac{1}{5}

                    =0.2

The mean of this distribution is mathematical represented as

           \mu = np

substituting the value

         \mu = 100 * 0.2

             \mu = 20

The standard deviation is mathematically represented as

         \sigma = \sqrt{np (1-p)}

substituting the value

           = \sqrt{100 * 0,2 (1-0.2)}

           \sigma=4

Applying normal approximation the probability that 34 or more subjects would choose the item in the center if each subject were selecting his or her preferred pair of socks at random would be mathematically represented as

               P=P(X \ge 34 )

By standardizing the normal approximation we have that

              P(X \ge 34) \approx P(Z \ge z)

Now z is mathematically evaluated as

               z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma }

Substituting values

             z = \frac{34-20}{4}

               =3.5

So  using the z table the P(Z \ge 3.5) is  0.0002

The probability P and Pe that 34 or more subject would choose the center pair is very small  So

The correct answer is

The experiment supports the center stage effect. If participants were truly picking the socks at random, it would be highly unlikely for 34 or more to choose the center pair.

gregori [183]

Answer:

7.5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the distace  220m in the given equation:

d = 19t + t^2

200 = 19t + t^2

t^2 + 19t - 200 = 0

t = [-19 +/- sqrt(19^2 - 4*1*-200)]  / 2

t = -19 +/- sqrt(1161) / 2

t = ( -19 +/- 34.07) / 2

t = 7.535 seconds

A certain shade of pink is created by by adding 3 cups of red paint to 7 cups of white paint. How many cups of red paint should
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

→[ Certain shade=red paint+ white paint]

→3 cups of red paint=7 cups of white paint

Dividing both side by 7,we get

→ 1 cup of white paint=3/7 cups of white paint

So, 3/7 of a cup should be added to 1 cup of white paint to make certain kind of shape.

Cups of white paint: Cups of red paint= 1. : \frac{7}{3}=\frac{3}{7}

k=\frac{3}{7} is constant of proportionality.
