R ® MAT 133: 4.2 Worksheet #2 4.2 WS #2: Least-Squares Regression Coursepack, p. 323 Name: 1. Itis hypothesized that there are fluctuations in norepinephrine (NE) levels that accompany fluctuations In affect (mood) In those with bipolar affective disorder (manic-depressive iliness). During depressive states, NE levels drop; during manic states, NE levels increase. To test this relationship, researchers measured the level of NE by measuring the metabolite 3-methoxy- 4-hydroxyphenylglycol ("MHPG," measured In micrograms per hour -pg/hr) in the urine of patients experiencing varying levels of mania/depression. Levels of mania/depression during these times were also recorded as polnts on a scale with a low score indicating Increased mania and a high score increased depression. The data from the trials are provided below: MHPG Mood (pg/hr) (pts) 41 22 50 26 58 8 81 10 76 5 53 19 45 26 44 12 37 23 32 28 a. What type of variable "MHPG" (circle one)?
