Term
Which of the following statements is not correct regarding the coefficient of correlation.


a. It can range from 1 to 1.
b. Its square is the coefficient of determination.
c. It measures the percent of variation explained.
d. It is a measure of the association between two variables.
Definition
c. It measures the percent of variation explained.
Term
The coefficient of determination 
Definition
a. is usually written as r2. b. cannot be negative. c. is the square of the coefficient of correlation.
Term
The coefficient of correlation was computed to be 0.60. This means
Definition
as X increase Y decreases.
Term
Which of the following is a stronger correlation than 0.54?


a. 0.67 b. 0.45
c. 0.0 d. 0.45
Definition
a. 0.67
Term
A regression equation is used to
Definition
b. estimate the value of the dependent variable based on the independent variable.
Term
A regression equation was computed to be Y= = 35 + 6X. The value of the 35 indicates that
Definition
a. the regression line crosses the Y-axis at 35.
Term
7. The standard error of estimate
Definition
a. is a measure of the variation around the regression line.
b. cannot be negative.
c. is in the same units as the dependent variable.
Term
The variable plotted on the horizontal or X-axis in a scatter diagram is called the
Definition
independent variable
Term
The least squares principle means that
Definition
is minimized.
Term
If all the points are on the regression line, then
Definition
the standard error of estimate is 0.
