For a data set of chest sizes (distance around chest in inches) and weights (pounds) of six anesthetized bears that were measured, the linear correlation coefficient is r = 0.854. Use the table available below to find the critical values of r. Based on a comparison of the linear correlation coefficient r and the critical values, what do you conclude about a linear correlation?8. The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 256.1 and a standard deviation of 63.3. (All units are 1000 cells/L.) Using the empirical rule, find each approximate percentage below.a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard of the mean or between 66.2,and 446.0 ? b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 192.8 and 319.4 ?

Number of Sexual Partners and Impulsivity Hypothesis: We hypothesize that men will have more sexual partners than women. In addition, we also hypothesize that individuals who are impulsive, will also have more sexual partners. Lastly, we hypothesize that there will be a relationship between gender and impulsivity, and it will be stronger among males in comparison to females. To begin your introduction there are a few things you must research. Here are some ideas. Please visit the library or writing center (virtually) on how to find peer reviewed articles. You can start by researching;Sexual differences between males and femalesWhat does impulsivity mean and how does it relate to sex?
