Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In a negative relationship, a high score on one variable is related to a low score on the other variable. In this example, the older the person, the fewer questions they asked and the younger the patient, the more questions they asked. The relationship goes in different directions. As one relationship goes down (older age and fewer questions), the other goes up (younger age and more questions).
Null means that there is no difference.
Positive relationships mean that as the score on one variable goes up, the score on the other variable goes up also.
A random relationship would imply a low or near-zero correlation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Correlational analyses are performed to identify relationships between or among variables. Variables can vary (change in different directions) or change in the same direction.
The Pearson product moment correlation does not determine relationships between a set of predictors and one outcome. Correlational analyses are performed to identify relationships between or among variables. Variables can vary (change in different directions) or change in the same direction.
It measures the extent of relationship between two variables or among variables. Correlational analyses are performed to identify relationships between or among variables. Variables can vary (change in different directions) or change in the same direction.
Data do not need to be nominal level for this statistic. Correlational analyses are performed to identify relationships between or among variables. Variables can vary (change in different directions) or change in the same direction.

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was originally known as the Communicable Disease Center, which was formed to fight malaria. It was originally headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, since the Southern states faced the worst threat from malaria.

Chronic marijuana use can damage the white blood cells and reduce the immune system's ability to respond to disease by as much as 40%. Without a strong immune system, the body is vulnerable to all kinds of degenerative and infectious diseases.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates’s recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.
