A psychologist wants to study the relationship between daily exercise (in minutes) and overall stress
levels, measured using a 5-item Likert scale questionnaire. The hypothesis is that more daily exercise will
be associated with lower stress levels.
The stress questionnaire uses the following 5 items:
1. I feel tense or stressed.
2. I have difficulty relaxing.
3. I often feel overwhelmed.
4. I feel anxious.
5. I find it hard to stay calm.
Each item is scored from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). Higher scores indicate higher stress.
The total score for stress is the sum of responses across all 5 items.
Problem Statement:
A nutritionist is interested in investigating the relationship between daily caffeine intake (in milligrams)
and hours of sleep among adults. The hypothesis is that as caffeine intake increases, the number of
hours of sleep decreases.
Dataset:
The dataset includes:
Caffeine_Intake (in milligrams, independent variable)
Hours_Slept (dependent variable)
Problem Statement:
A researcher wants to explore whether there is any relationship between the number of social media
followers and the number of books read per month among young adults. The hypothesis is that there is
no obvious relationship between the two variables, as social media presence and reading habits are
unrelated.
Dataset:
The dataset includes:
Social_Media_Followers (number of followers, independent variable)
Books_Read (number of books read per month, dependent variable)
