The article "behavioural effects of mobile telephone use during simulated driving"† reported that for a sample of 20 experimental subjects, the sample correlation coefficient for x = age and y = time since the subject had acquired a driving license (yr) was 0.97. why do you think the value of r is so close to 1? (the article's authors give an explanation.)

An electronics manufacturer wants to know if customers would be interested in a detachable keyboard for their tables and if so, what the most important features would be. the manufacturer partners with an electronics store to include copies of the survey with every purchase at that store for one week. which of the following best explains why this random sample is unlikely to be a good representative sample of tablet owners' preferences for a detachable keyboard? a) one week is likely not enough time to get a large enough sample. b) most people won't bother to send in the survey, which is likely to skew the results c) there is no way to verify whether the responders to the survey actually own a tablet d) the survey is biased because it was conducted through an electronics store, not the general population
