1.3 1.3 0 D. 0.5 E. 0.5Linear Regression - 600Answer: D A newscaster read a study comparing the amount of time spent cleaning and weight of the homeowner. The study reported a correlation of 0.87. She then reported on the evening news that the more time you spend cleaning your house the skinner you will get. Which of the following is true?

She is incorrect since the correlation is negative which shows no relationship between the two variables.She is correct since 0.87 shows a strong relationship between the variables.The study must be incorrect because the correlation should be positive.She is incorrect because she is confusing association with causation.Linear Regression II - 600Answer: BWhich of these is not true of the correlation r between the length (in inches) and weight (in pounds) of a sample of salamanders?

r must take a value between -1 and 1. r is measured in inches. if longer salamanders tend to also be heavier, then r > 0. r would not change if we measured these trout in centimeters instead of inches.Probability I - 600Answer: COf American adults 24% have a genetic marker for breast cancer. If a random sample of 3 adults is taken, what is the probability that all 3 have the genetic marker?

95% of all households had incomes in the range $37,005 $342.we can be 95% sure that the median income for all households in the country lies in the range $37,005 $342.95% of the households in the sample interviewed by the Census Bureau had incomes in the range $37,005 $342.the Census Bureau got the result $37,005 $342 using a method that will cover the true median income 95% of the time when used repeatedly.Linear Regression - 800Answer: CThe least-squares regression line for predicting the percent of a country's females who are illiterate from the percent of males who are illiterate is female% = 3.34 + 1.39(male%).

In China, 10.1% of men are illiterate. Predict the percent of illiterate women in China.

students who scored high on the SAT verbal test tended to get lower GPAs than those who scored lower on the SAT verbal teststudents who scored high on the SAT verbal test tended to get higher GPAs than those who scored lower on the SAT verbal testwe can use the SAT verbal score to accurately predict GPAs for liberal arts majorsgrade point averages are higher for older studentsthe correlation between the SAT verbal score and GPA is higher than 0.5Probability I - 800Answer: CA fair die is rolled 4 times and 6 appears each time. What is the probability that on the next roll the 6 will appear again?

It would be close to zeros since it is very unlikely that 6 would appear again after coming up so many times.It would be close to one since the die appears to be on a streak of 6'sThe probability remains 1/6The probability would be (1/6)5 = 1/7776Probability II - 800Answer: CYou read in a book about bridge that the probability that each of the four players is dealt exactly one ace is about 0.11. To simulate an outcome with probability 0.11 you could

A. the margin of error is 0.005.B. the null hypothesis is very likely to be true.C. we do not have good evidence against the null hypothesis.D. we do have good evidence against the null hypothesis.

Linear Regression - 1000Answer: DThe least-squares regression line for predicting the percent of a country's females who are illiterate from the percent of males who are illiterate is female% = 3.34 + 1.39(male%).

The equation of the regression line tells us that (on average) when the male illiteracy rate goes up by 1%, the female rate goes up by

You suspect he may be wrong, and take a sample of 18 players and get a mean weight of 228 lbs. with a standard deviation of 4 lbs. What would your conclusion be if you ran a hypothesis test with = 0.05?

Since our p-value is less than 0.05, we would reject the coachs claim.Since our p-value is less than 0.05, we would not reject the coachs claim.Since our p-value is greater than 0.05, we would reject the coachs claim.Since our p-value is greater than 0.05, we would not reject the coachs claim.Final Jeopardy!Make your wager based on this category:Linear RegressionYou must write your wager and your groups answer on a piece of paper.And now, the Final Jeopardy! answer

Suppose you run a linear regression for a data set and get r = 0.92. You then graph the residuals vs. the x-variable. The plot is shown on the right. What would be an appropriate interpretation of the residual plot?

Linear RegressionSince the plot has a distinct curve to it, and since r = 0.92, the linear model is a good fit.Since the plot has a distinct curve to it, and since r = 0.92, the linear model is not a good fit.The shape of the residual plot doesnt matter; since r = 0.92, the linear model is the best one.Since the plot has a distinct curve, the linear model is not the best model for the data, even though r = 0.92.

The correct answer is.D
