A jar contains only pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are 29 pennies, 14 dimes, and 20 quarters. The rest of the coins are nickels. There are 88 coins in all
How many of the coins are not nickels? If n represents the number of nickels in the jar, what
equation could you use to find n?

17. a researcher measures three variables, x, y, and z for each individual in a sample of n = 20. the pearson correlations for this sample are rxy = 0.6, rxz = 0.4, and ryz = 0.7. a. find the partial correlation between x and y, holding z constant. b. find the partial correlation between x and z, holding y constant. (hint: simply switch the labels for the variables y and z to correspond with the labels in the equation.) gravetter, frederick j. statistics for the behavioral sciences (p. 526). cengage learning. kindle edition.
