You may be aware of the stereotype about the “crazy” person who owns a lot of cats. Have you wondered whether the stereotype is true? As a researcher, you decide to assess 100 people on two variables: (1) the number of cats they own, and (2) their level of mental health problems (a higher score indicates more problems). 

a. Imagine that you found a positive relation between these two variables. What might you expect for someone who owns a lot of cats? Explain. 

b. Imagine that you found a positive relation between these two variables. What might you expect for someone who owns no cats or just one cat? Explain. 

c. Imagine that you found a negative relation between these two variables. What might you expect for someone who owns a lot of cats? Explain. 

d. Imagine that you found a negative relation between these two variables. What might you expect for someone who owns no cats or just one cat? Explain.
