Chapter 2:
Biologists assess how closely related similar species are by measuring the number of years since the two species diverged from a common ancestor. Researchers Daniel Bolnick and Thomas Near compared the years since divergence for 12 different pairs of sunfish species to the hatching success of eggs produced by a “cross” between the two species. A scatterplot of their results is shown.
A hatching success of 100 means the hybrid eggs hatched as often as single-species eggs hatched.
A number below 100 means the hybrid eggs hatch less often.

Which of the following is closest to the correlation between these two variables?

Chapter 2
A statistics student wonders if tall women tend to date taller men than do short women. She measures herself, her dormitory roommate, and the women in the adjoining rooms. Then, she measures the next man each woman dates.

Here are the data (height in inches).
Women: 66 64 66 65 70 65
Men: 72 68 70 68 71 65

Use statsmedic.com/applets , 2 quantitative variables, to make a scatterplot for these data, using women’s height as the explanatory variable. Copy and paste into the applet.
Calculate the correlation for these data. Include all the numbers past the decimal.
