A school educator is interested in determining the potential relationship between grade point average (GPA) and IQ scores among ninth graders. The educator takes a random sample of 30 ninth graders aged 14 years old and administers the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV).

Answer the following Questions:

Hypotheses - Formulate null and alternative hypotheses. What do you think is the relationship between IQ scores and GPA?
Variables – Describe the scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) for each of the variables.
Correlation – Write an overview of the results of the correlation (at least two paragraphs), including the appropriate and necessary statistical results within sentences and in proper APA formatting. Be sure to provide sufficient explanation for any numbers presented. Consider the following in your overview and conclusions:
Is there a significant correlation between IQ scores and GPA? If so, what does a significant correlation mean?
Using the correlation table and scatterplot, explain whether the relationship is positive, negative, or no correlation.
Describe the strength of the relationship (e.g. very strong, moderate, weak, etc.).
What do the results tell us about your hypotheses?
What conclusions can we draw from these results? What conclusions can we NOT make using these results?

That's a lovely problem statement. You should get started on it. I suspect there is a dataset? Let's see how many you can answer...
 
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
