This research study found that kindergarten and elementary school children who were better at rhymes and hearing the sounds of individual letters before they started to read later learned to read words more quickly than children who were not as good with making and distinguishing elementary sounds of language.
Choose the scatterplot below that is most consistent with the results of this correlational study.
One scale looks at how well children can make and hear sounds of spoken language (going from low values meaning that they are less skilled and higher values meaning that they are more skilled) and the other asks how quickly and how well they learn to read (with higher values meaning that they learned more quickly and effectively).
Researchers found that the constant exposure to mass media (television, magazines, websites) depicting atypically thin, glamorous female models may be linked to lower body confidence for women. The general finding was that the more women were exposed to pictures and articles about thin females, the lower their satisfaction was with their own bodies.
Choose the scatterplot below that is most consistent with the results of this correlational study.
One of the variables was a measure of how frequently women see thin models (not much exposure to a great deal of exposure) and the other variable was how satisfied (not dissatisfied) they are with their own bodies, where higher values meant that they were more satisfied with their bodies.
Ninth-grade students and teachers were surveyed to determine the level of bullying that the students experienced. The researchers were given permission to access the scores of the students on several standardized tests, with topics including algebra, earth science, and world history. The researchers found that the more bullying a student experienced, the lower the student's grades on the standardized tests.
Choose the scatterplot below that is most consistent with the results of this correlational study.
One of the variables is the amount of bullying, from low amounts to high amounts. The other variable is score on the standardized tests, from low general score to high general score. For the standardized tests, assume that the researchers found a single "composite" score to represent general performance across the various topic areas mentioned.
