Four young children were monitored closely over several weeks to measure how much they watched viole


Question: Question: Four young children were monitored closely over several weeks to measure how much they watched violent television programs and their amount of violent behavior toward their playmates. (Four part (f), assume that hours watching violent television is the predictor variable.) The results are as follows:

Child's Code Number of Violent or Aggressive Playmates Weekly Viewing Violent TV Acts Toward (hours)

Number

G3368 14 9

R8904 8 6

C9890 6 1

L8722 12 8

Do the following

a) Make a scatter diagram of the raw scores

b) Describe in words the general pattern of association, if any

c) Figure the correlation

d) Explain the logic of what you have done, writing as if you were speaking to someone who has never had a statistics course (but who does understand the mean, standard deviation, and Z scores);

e) give three logically possible directions of causality, saying for each whether it was a reasonable direction in light of the variables involved (and why);

f) make raw score predictions on the criterion variable for persons with Z scores on the predictor variable of -2, -1, 0, +1, and +2;

g) give the proportion of variance accounted for (R squared).
