1. Where X = 1, 3, 5, and 7; Y = 2, 4, 6 and 8 compute X2, Y2 and XY.

2.  Recent reform efforts in statistics education have identified randomization-based approaches to teaching statistics is effective. Thirty students are randomly assigned to one of two classes: one that uses a randomization-based approach or one that uses a theory-based approach. At the end of eight weeks the students’ performance on a statistics test is recorded. In this scenario which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable?
