Chapter 3: Q.14 (page 160)

Does social rejection hurt? We often describe our emotional reaction to social rejection as 鈥減ain.鈥� Does social rejection cause activity in areas of the brain that are known to be activated by physical pain? If it does, we really do experience social and physical pain in similar ways. Psychologists first included and then deliberately excluded individuals from a social activity while they measured changes in brain activity. After each activity, the subjects filled out questionnaires that assessed how excluded they felt. The table below shows data for 13subjects.7鈥淪ocial distress鈥� is measured by each subject鈥檚 questionnaire score after exclusion relative to the score after inclusion. (So values greater than 1show the degree of distress caused by exclusion.) 鈥淏rain activity鈥� is the change in activity in a region of the brain that is activated by physical pain. (So positive values show more pain.)

Discuss what the data show. Follow the four-step process.

Short Answer

Direction: Positive

Form: Linear

Strength: Strong relationship.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given in the question that atable.

02

Explanation

To describe the data:

The horizontal axis represents social discomfort, whereas the vertical axis represents brain activity.

03

Explanation

Direction: Because the scatterplot slopes upwards, the direction is positive.

Form: Because there is no curvature in the scatterplot, the form is linear.

Strength: Because the tips are not far apart, the strength is high.

Outsourcing by airlines Airlines have increasingly outsourced the maintenance of their planes to other companies. Critics say that the maintenance may be less carefully done, so that outsourcing creates a safety hazard. As evidence, they point to government data on percent of major maintenance outsourced and percent of flight delays blamed on the airline (often due to maintenance problems): Make a scatterplot by hand that shows how delays relate to outsourcing.

(a) Describe the direction, form, and strength of the relationship between maintenance outsourcing and delays blamed on the airline.

(b) One airline is a high outlier in delay percent. Which airline is this? Aside from the outlier, does the plot show a roughly linear form? Is the relationship very strong?

Early on, the most common treatment for breast cancer was removal of the breast. It is now usual to remove only the tumor and nearby lymph nodes, followed by radiation. The change in policy was due to a large medical experiment that compared the two treatments. Some breast cancer patients, chosen at random, were given one or the other treatment. The patients were closely followed to see how long they lived following surgery. What are the explanatory and response variables? Are they categorical or quantitative?

Measurements on young children in Mumbai, India, found this least-squares line for predicting height y from the arm span x y铃�=6.4+0.93xMeasurements are in centimeters (cm).

In addition to the regression line, the report on the

Mumbai measurements says that r2=0.95.This suggests that

(a) although arm span and height are correlated, arm span does not predict height very accurately.

(b) height increases by 0.95=0.97cm for each additional centimeter of arm span.

(c) 95% of the relationship between height and arm span is accounted for by the regression line.

(d) 95% of the variation in height is accounted for by the regression line.

(e) 95% of the height measurements are accounted for by the regression line.

Merlins breeding The percent of an animal species in the wild that survives to breed again is often lower following a successful breeding season. A study of merlins (small falcons) in northern Sweden observed the number of breeding pairs in an isolated area and the percent of males (banded for identification) that returned the next breeding season. Here are data for nine years:

Investigate the relationship between breeding pairs and percent return. Follow the four-step process.
