Answer to Question 1

Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficients are the most commonly reported correlations and are designated as r. They range from an anchor point of -1.0 to immediately below 0 for negative correlations, and from immediately above 0 to an anchor point of +1.0 for positive correlations. An r = 0 indicates the absence of a relationship. The absolute value of the correlation coefficient indicates the strength of the relationship and the sign indicates the nature of the relationship.

Answer to Question 2

Correlational studies (also called observational studies) describe the magnitude of covariation between stress and illness but do not give sufficient information to determine causation. In other words, they only give us information about the nature and strength of the relationship and not its causal relations. Correlation coefficients may be used to summarize the relationship between variables found in correlational studies.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Coca-Cola originally used coca leaves and caffeine from the African kola nut. It was advertised as a therapeutic agent and "pickerupper." Eventually, its formulation was changed, and the coca leaves were removed because of the effects of regulation on cocaine-related products.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
