Question

The correlation between _____ and ____ would likely be the highest.

a. shyness averaged over a month; shyness on a given day
b. shyness averaged over a month; shyness averaged over a week
c. shyness averaged over a month; shyness averaged over a different month
d. shyness on a given day; shyness on another day

Answer 1

The correlations would likely be highest with scenario (c). When taking two averages over different months, the values should have some resemblance to each other. In addition, since the values are both measuring the same time periods, there will be an ability to see a pattern with the two.
