A researcher wanted to know if there was a relationship between stress and frustration. Theresearcher recruited n = 5 participants and asked them to solve a difficult puzzle in a short timeperiod. She then asked each participant to rate how stressful the task was and how frustratedthey were to solve the puzzle on a scale of 1 to 5. The data are below:
X Y
stress frustration
2 1
2 2
3 4
3 4
3 5
Calculate the sum of squares for X and Y
Solve the following problems.a. After 8 points are added to each score in a sample, the mean is found to be M = 40. What was the value for the original mean?b. After every score in a sample is multiplied by 5, the mean is found to be M = 40. What was the value for the original mean?
A group of 100 people, who lived at varying distances (in kilometers) from an island nuclear power station, were asked if they thought a full evacuation of
the area was required, when it went critical. The researches wanted to know if the opinion to evacuate or not depended on how far from the reactor people
lived,
Partial results of the questionnaire are shown in the table below.

You are doing a Chi Square test for independence. XX denotes row/column totals. Compute the expected number of people living 6+km away who
would prefer NOT to evacuate. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.

- Peter Thompson, in charge of office supplies at Top Hill Estates., would like to predict the quantity of paper used in the office photocopying machines per month. He believes that the number of clients seen in a month influences the volume of photocopying performed.
