Stats II Question ? [Prev. Q.] [Next Q.] [Prev. Chap.] [Next Chap.] [goto] *****


A study of 500 babies looked at the relationship between their weight at birth and the age at which they first slept through the night. The birth weights of the babies averaged out to 90 ounces, with an SD of 15 ounces. The ages at which they first slept through the night average 50 days with an SD of 10 days. The correlation between the two variables was -0.60. Consider the babies who weighed 105 ounces at birth. The percentage of them who first slept through the night at an age of 50 days or earlier is closest to:

  • 75%
  • 50%
  • 80%
  • 70%
  • 45%
  • *****
