Suppose You Were Interested in Conducting a Study Examining How $\bar{X}=6.00$

question 54

Short Answer

Suppose you were interested in conducting a study examining how ratings of similarity between oneself and another person were related to how attracted one is to the other person.You conduct this study by giving participants a description of a person named "Sarah." Participants are asked to read the description and then rate on a scale from 1 to 10 how similar Sarah is to themselves.You also ask each participant to rate on a scale from 1 to 20 how likeable they think Sarah is.
X = rating of similarity to oneself
Y = rating of likability of the target ("Sarah")
62 people participate in your study,and you obtain the following data: $\bar{X}=6.00$
SCP = 66
$\bar{Y}=10.00$
SS_X = 40
SS_Y = 136
Using your calculations above,if you asked another person who was not in your original experiment to rate the similarity between themselves and "Sarah" on the same scale from 1 to 10,and their rating of similarity = 5,what would you predict their likability rating to be?
