Question 2

...................? are observations that fall far from the "cloud" of points

 

Question 3

What is the best way to describe the point in the yellow box?

 

a. An outlier fall along from the cloud that appears to influence the direction of the line

 

b. An outlier close to the least squares line, suggesting that it was likely not very influential

 

c. An outlier far from the other points that only slightly influences the line, if at all

 

d. None of these

 

Question 4

The proper estimate of variance explained in multiple regression is

a. >50% significant predictors

b. Adjusted R2

c. R2

d. All of these

 

Question 5

Adjusted R2 is actually a biased estimate, so we turn to R2

Question 7

In this regression, which predictor(s) is/are significant?

a. Both

b. 'pubs'

c. Neither

d. 'time'

 

Question 8

You run a regression for x predicting y and find the p-value to be .04. Which of the following can you say most comfortably?

a. Given the assumptions have been met, y significantly predicts x, but we can't be sure if it is important

b. None of these

c. Only 4% of the time would you expect to find a test statistic as extreme or more, assuming the null hypothesis is true

d. The finding indicates x strongly predicts y

 

Question 9

Which of the following describes the amount of variation in the response that is explained by the least squares line?

a. S

b. Line of best fit

c. Variability

d. R2

 

Question 10

Which of the following is true?

a. The t-value was obtained by dividing the estimate by standard error

b. The 'unemp' coefficient is significant

c. A t-value of -1.23 is significant

d. None of these

 

Question 11

Based on this table, which of the following statements is true?

a. adverts' estimate of .08 shows it is not significant

b. adverts' t-value of -1.53 shows it is a significant predictor

c. adverts' t-value and associated p-value indicate it is a significant predictor

d. None of these

 

 

Question 12

The line of best fit in linear regression will be the one that has the maximizes the sum of the squared residuals

True

False

 

Question 13

Which of the following are assumptions when fitting a least squares line in linear regression? (Select all that apply)

a. Linearity: The data should show a linear trend

b. Nearly normal residuals: generally the residuals must be nearly normal

c. Constant variability: Variability of points around the least squares line must remain roughly constant

d. Symmetry: Lines of best fit should fit symmetrically along the median value

 

 

Question 14

When fitting a line to data, the points will (almost) never perfectly fall on the line. The difference between the line of best fit and a point is called a(n)

a. error

b. residual

c. regressor
