6.   A researcher studying the relation of similarity to attraction reported the following results:
Person    Similarity   Attraction
Tested   X   ZX   Y   ZY
J.L.   1   1.17     3   1.18
K.M.   6   1.43     5   .39
L.B.   2   .65     6   0
R.C.   4    .39   10   1.57
M = 3.25      SD = 1.92   M = 6   SD = 2.55   r = .36
a.   Give the Z score prediction formula for predicting attraction from similarity.


b.   Predict the attraction to a person for whom the similarity is rated as a 5.




c.   Explain what you have done to a person who is familiar with correlation but not with regression.

b.   Predict the attraction to a person for whom the similarity is rated as a 5.
K.M. has an attraction of 5, and a  Z-score of -0.39.  This evaluates to a probability of .3483 or about a 35% chance of being found attractive.
