Antworten
  • the same as the estimating interval

Frage 108

Frage
The coefficient of determination (R2) is equal to 0.64, and the linear regression equation which indicates an inverse relationship between x and y is equal to ŷ = 2 - .74x, then the correlation coefficient must necessarily be equal to:
Antworten
  • -.80
  • +.64
  • -.74
  • either -.80 or +.80

Frage 109

Frage
In a simple linear regression and correlation problem, a correlation coefficient of .80 means that 64% of the variation in y can be explained by x.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 110

Frage
When R2 = 1, then Se = Sy.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 111

Frage
A correlation coefficient of –1.0 would imply that the standard error of the estimate Se would necessarily be equal to 0.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 112

Frage
Standard error is measured in the units of the x variable.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 113

Frage

Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 114

Frage
Standard deviation of height = 2.45 inches. Standard deviation of weight = 23 pounds. Correlation = .56 If we are predicting weight from height, the regression coefficient is 5.26.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 115

Frage
If ŷ = 15 + 10x, then the estimated value of y when x = 5 is:
Antworten
  • 25
  • 65
  • 10
  • 15
  • 55

Frage 116

Frage
When H0 is accepted in a regression model, we conclude:
Antworten
  • A linear relationship exists between x and y.
  • The x variable is statistically significant.
  • The x variable is not statistically significant.
  • A linear relationship exists between x and y AND the x variable is statistically significant.

Frage 117

Frage
Seasonality can be incorporated into regression models with dummy variables.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 118

Frage
For the linear equation ŷ = 50 – 2x where y is the number of items sold and x is the price of the product in $, which is true?
Antworten
  • The equation represents an inverse relationship between y and x.
  • The equation represents a positive relationship between y and x because the constant term 50 is greater than 0.
  • The slope of the line is – 2 dollars per each item sold.
  • The slope of the line is +50 dollars per each item sold.

Frage 119

Frage
If a correlation exists between y and x, then necessarily either y causes x or x causes y.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 120

Frage
The advantage of multiple regression over simple regression is that we can change more than one variable at a time.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 121

Frage
If ŷ = 31 + 1.2x1 – 3.4x2 + 5x3, then the estimated value of y when x1 = – 6, x2 = 3, and x3 = 2 is:
Antworten
  • 31.7
  • 25.4
  • 23.6
  • 38

Frage 122

Frage
The alternative hypothesis in a multiple regression problem is that no linear relationship exists between a given independent variable and y.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 123

Frage
The correlation coefficient between college GPA and H.S. GPA is .70. The correlation coefficient between college GPA and H.S. rank is .60. Which of the following is true?
Antworten
  • 70% of the variation in college GPA can be explained by H.S. GPA.
  • 60% of the variation in college GPA can be explained by H.S. GPA.
  • H.S. GPA is a better predictor of college GPA than H.S. rank.
  • There is an inverse relationship between H.S. GPA and College GPA.

Frage 124

Frage
Adding another variable to a regression equation will make R2
Antworten
  • decrease
  • increase
  • stay the same or increase
  • stay the same or decrease
  • increase, decrease, or stay the same

Frage 125

Frage
The purpose of R2 adjusted is to discern the effect of adding a variable to a model.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 126

Frage
Adding another variable to a regression equation will necessarily make R2 adjusted increase.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 127

Frage
It is possible for a variable to be significant in multiple regression when that same variable is not significant in simple regression.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 128

Frage
Stable environments are critical for effective time series analysis.
Antworten
  • True
  • False
