For this assignment, you need to create two data sets by yourself that have the specific characteristics listed, create scatter diagrams (scatterplots) for both of them and then write a short (225 to 250 words long) paper.

Hypothetical Scenario: Pretend you are a researcher interested in assessing whether student happiness is correlated with how many credit hours they are taking. You ask a random sample of 30 students to rate their current happiness on a 10-point scale (1=Not happy at all and 10=Extremely happy), and then you ask the same 30 students how many credit hours they are taking.

Data Set Creation:

Data Set 1: Make up a data set that shows a weak (r should be .01 to .33), positive, linear correlation between students’ happiness and the number of credit hours they are taking

Data Set 2: Make up a data set that shows a moderate (r should be -.34 to -.67), negative, linear correlation between students’ happiness and the number of credit hours they are taking
