Whenever you want to know how much variability one variable accounts for in another, you need to find the:

Â

a. r
b. r squared
c. slope
d. SEE (standard error of estimate)

Which of the following correlations is the strongest?

Â

a. 0.95
b. 0.56
c. -0.96
d. -0.95

A regression is performed to quantify the relationship between x and y.  What information does this analysis give you?

Â

a. The r
b. The line of best fit
c. The standard error of estimate
d. All of the above

A regression analysis was performed between two variables, x and y.  The equation for this line of best fit for the relationship between the x and the y was:  y = 54x +2.  If someone had a x = 1, what was the y?

Â

a. 56
b. 54
c. 2
d. Can’t be determined.

Â

a. 0.90
b. -0.77
c. 0.77
d. 0.04

A regression equation will have the format y = mx + b.  What is the m?

Â

b. The variable on the y axis.
c. The y intercept.
d. The slope of the line.

 

Â

A correlation coefficient is a number that looks like what?

Â

Measures of association include w

 

hich of the following?

a. Correlations
b. Regression
c. Multiple regression
d. All of the above
e. None of the above

Â

The advantage of an r squared over an r is: a. An r squared shows the direction of the relationship b. An r squared can be compared to 1.0 c. An r squared can be compared directly to another r squared d. There is no advantage of an r squared over an r
