How is the distance from the sun for planets in our solar system related to the mean temperature of each planet? To find out, scatterplots that relate the distance of each planet (including pluto) from the sun in millions of miles and the mean planetary temperature in kelvin were created. Some of the scatterplots use the natural log to transform one, or both, of the variables. Based on the scatterplots, what type of model is most appropriate for comparing distance and temperature?

A. An exponential model is appropriate because the scatterplot relating distance the temperature is curved

B. A linear model is appropriate because the scatterplot relating In(distance) to In(temperature) is roughly linear.

C. A power model is appropriate because the scatterplot relating In(distance) to In(temperature) is roughly linear

D. an exponential model is appropriate because the scatterplot relating distance to In(temperature) is roughly linear

How do you create a data set with 8 points in it that has a mean of approximately 10 and a standard deviation of approximately 1?

Study published in the journal of personality and individual differences found that adults with adhd displayed more creative achievement than those who didn't have the disorder. "for the same reason that adhd might create problems, like distraction, it can also allow an openness to new ideas," says holly white, assistant professor of cognitive psychology. "not being completely focused on a task lets the mind make associations that might not have happened otherwise." white and priti shah at the university of michigan gave 60 college students – half of them with adhd – a series of tests measuring creativity across 10 domains. the adhd group scored higher across the board. the adhd group showed more of a preference for brainstorming and generating ideas than the non-adhd group, which preferred refining and clarifying ideas. the adhd status of the participants was established by asking whether the individual had ever been clinically diagnosed with adhd/add. the tests of creativity were pencil-and-paper tasks administered in a laboratory setting. each of the ten scales was comprised of multiple questions, the scores on which were summed (e.g., writing creativity: "how many words can you make from the letters in the word 'psychology' invention creativity: "write down as many uses for a paper clip that you can think of.") this procedure does allow for a participant to be scored as showing no creativity under these conditions. a) state the research question in plain language (i wonder if is related to (1 point) b) state the null hypothesis (1 point) c) state the research hypothesis (1 point) d) is the research hypothesis directional or non-directional (1 point) e) name the predictor / independent variable f) give the operational definition of the predictor / independent variable g) evaluate the construct validity of the predictor / independent variable. (face, procedure, method-match) h) name the outcome / dependent variable i) give the operational definition of the outcome / dependent variable. j) evaluate the construct validity of the outcome / dependent variable.
