Answer 1

It looks like you're not "turning off" any stars that are above the one you're currently over. I would change it to this:

var numStars = 5;
function change_star_image(star_id){
    for (var i=1;i<numStars+1;i++){
         if(i<=star_id){
              $("#star_rating_image_"+i).css('background', 'url(images/full-star.png)');
         }else{
              $("#star_rating_image_"+i).css('background', 'url(images/empty-star.png)');
         }
    }
    $("#star_rating_image_"+star_id).mouseout(clearStars());
}
function clearStars(){
    for (var i=1;i<numStars+1;i++){
         $("#star_rating_image_"+i).css('background', 'url(images/empty-star.png)');
    }
}
