Data from the Titanic was used to look at survival of this terrible accident. The chart below shows a comparison of two variables:

What are the two variables that are being compared?

Survival Status

Second class 

First class

Percent that Died

Percent that Survived

Third class

Class of Travel

Data from the Titanic was used to look at survival of this terrible accident. The chart below shows a comparison of two variables:

Is there an association between the variables?
How can you tell?
If so, explain the association. Find three answers.

Third class was more likely to survive than the other two classes of passengers.

The bars are all the same.

All three classes had the same chance of survival on the Titanic.

Second class was more likely to survive than the other two classes of passengers. 

No there is not an association between class of travel and survival status.

Yes there is an association between class of travel and survival status.

The bars are different.

First class was more likely to survive than the other two classes of passengers.

Biologists have collected data relating the age (in years) of one variety of oak tree to its height (in feet). A scatterplot for 20 of these trees is given below.
How does point A affect the correlation of the relationship? Explain.
Select both answers.

Point A does not have an effect on the correlation.

It weakens the relationship between tree age and height.

Point A is outside the pattern of the data.

Point A is inside the pattern of the data.

It strengthens the relationship between tree age and height.

Point A neither strengthens or weakens the relationship.

The correlation, r, would remain the same.

Calculate the correlation coefficient (r)=
Explain why the correlation coefficient has this value even though there is a strong relationship between speed and mileage.
Select three answers.

r= 0.99

Correlation measures the strength of a relationship between two categorical variables.

The data points follow a strong pattern.

The data points follow a pattern but it is not linear.

r= 0

Correlation only measures the strength of a linear relationship between two quantitative variables.

r= -0.99
