Answer to q. 3

general intelligence.

Answer to q. 4

Spearman

Answer to q. 5

Answers should include discussion about more females in roles that were once
typically dominated by males (surgeons, pilots, and so on) as well as the change in
views on women's work. As more women are entering the workplace, more men
are now doing jobs once regarded as women's work. It is evident that not all
women are good housewives and that men are just as capable as women of
becoming experts in domestic work.

Answer to q. 6

Younger workers have more physical energy and stamina, so hiring some for
counter/kitchen help would be wise. Older workers are more efficient at combining
tasks, so some barista positions should be filled by them since those skills will be
helpful in rush times. The barista position is more complex, and it supports the
intellectual functioning of older workers. But younger workers may teach older
workers about the latest espresso drinks, so some younger workers, too, should be
hired as baristas.
