Question | Answer |
---|---|
A Scatter Plot graphs compares the relationship between two ____________ variables | Continuous |
True or false: Correlation implies causation. | False |
If the linear correlation between two variables is negative, what can be said about the slope of the regression line? a. Positive b. Negative c. More information is needed | b. Negative |
True or false: The least-squares regression line always travels through the point (x bar, y bar). | True |
A ____________ is the difference between an observed value of the response variable y and the predicted value of y. | Residual |
True or false: If the residual is positive, then the observed value is greater than the predicted value. | True |
The _______, R2, measures the proportion of total variation in the response variable that is explained by the least squares regression line. | coefficient of determination |
A __________________ is a frequency or relative frequency distribution of either the row or column variable in a contingency table. | marginal distribution |
A ___________________ lists the relative frequency of each category of the response variable, given a specific value of the explanatory variable in a contingency table. | conditional distribution |
A straight line that represents how the response variable changes as the explanatory variable changes. | Regression Line |
The difference between observed value and mean values in the response variable is called? | Total deviation |
