Question 21

A theory suggests that X should have a positive effect on Y. Upon analyzing a set of data, the correlation between X and Y is 0.55, and remains just as strong when Z is controlled. What does this tell us about the theory in question?

Question 22

Researchers determine that age has a positive correlation with trust of one's neighbours. They then ask whether this correlation is due to the fact that older people tend to have lived for longer amounts of time in their neighbourhood relative to younger people. What type of variable is "time lived in neighbourhood" for this example?
