Question 1

A scattergram is also known as a:&#10;A) Scatterplot&#10;B) Plot diagram&#10;C) Scatter figure&#10;D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

A scattergram is a visual representation of the correlation between two variables. It is also known as a scatterplot, which is the most commonly used term in statistics and data analysis. The terms "Plot diagram" and "Scatter figure" are not used in statistical terminology.

Question 2

What are types of directional relationships in scattergrams?&#10;A) Positive&#10;B) Negative&#10;C) No relationship&#10;D) Only A and B&#10;E) All of the above

Accepted Answer

Scattergrams can show positive relationships (where variables increase together), negative relationships (where one variable increases as the other decreases), or no relationship (where there is no apparent pattern between the variables).

Question 3

Which variable should be displayed on the x-axis?&#10;A) Outcome variable&#10;B) Predictor variable&#10;C) Criterion variable&#10;D) Participant variable

Accepted Answer

The predictor variable is the independent variable in a study and is the variable that is manipulated or observed to see if it has an effect on the outcome variable. Therefore, it should be displayed on the x-axis.

Question 4

When there is a positive relationship between two variables, that means:&#10;A) As one variable increases, the other decreases.&#10;B) As one variable increases, the other increases.&#10;C) As one variable increased, the other increases and then decreases.&#10;D) None of the above.

Accepted Answer

A positive relationship means that as one variable increases, the other increases as well.

Question 5

When variables share a curvilinear relationship, this relationship is also known as:&#10;A) Up and down&#10;B) Positive&#10;C) No relationship&#10;D) Non-linear

Accepted Answer

When variables share a curvilinear relationship, this relationship is non-linear. A curvilinear relationship means that the relationship between the variables does not follow a straight line, but rather a curved pattern or shape. It can be either upward curving (concave), downward curving (convex), or have multiple curves (S-shaped).

Question 6

A scattergram is a type of statistical figure.

Accepted Answer

A scattergram is a visual representation of the relationship between two continuous variables, often used in statistical analysis.

Question 7

Scattergrams can be interpreted in terms of strength, course, and linearity.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Scattergrams can be interpreted in terms of...

Question 8

SPSS Statistics uses &#34;Chart Builder&#8230;&#34; to create scattergrams.

Accepted Answer

SPSS Statistics does use "Chart Builder…" to create scattergrams.

Question 9

Use a scattergram before calculating a correlation coefficient.

Accepted Answer

A scattergram (also known as a scatter plot) is a graphical representation of the relationship between two variables. Before calculating a correlation coefficient, it is important to visually inspect the scattergram to determine if there is a linear relationship between the variables. If there is a clear linear pattern, then a correlation coefficient can be calculated to quantify the strength and direction of the relationship.

Question 10
