Study GuideStatistics–Bivariate Relationships1.Quiz: Simple Linear Regression1. QuestionThe coefficients of the least squares regression line are determined by minimizing the sum of thesquares of the:Answer Choices• x-coordinates• y-coordinates• residualsCorrect AnswerresidualsWhy This Is CorrectLeast squares regression chooses the line that makes thevertical errors(residuals) as small aspossible overall by minimizing thesum of squared residuals.2. QuestionA residual is computed as:Answer Choices• a y-coordinate from the data minus a y-coordinate predicted by the line• a y-coordinate predicted by the line minus a y-coordinate from the data• an x-coordinate from the data minus an x-coordinate predicted by the line

Study GuideCorrect Answera y-coordinate from the data minus a y-coordinate predicted by the lineWhy This Is CorrectResidual =observed − predicted:3. QuestionA geometric interpretation of a residual is the:Answer Choices• perpendicular distance from a data point to the regression line• horizontal distance from a data point to the regression line• vertical distance from a data point to the regression lineCorrect Answervertical distance from a data point to the regression lineWhy This Is CorrectIn regression, residuals measure thevertical differencebetween the actual point and the regressionline.4. QuestionA paired data set has (n = 5), (∑x = 15), (∑y = 27), (∑xy = 100), and (∑x2= 55).(Sxy=)Answer Choices• 1.9• 10• 19

Study Guide14. QuestionA set of paired data has (x̄= 8.0, sx= 4.9,ȳ= 26.0, sy= 13.2,) and (r = 0.97).Which point is on the least squares regression line?Answer Choices• (0, 0.97)• (4.9, 13.2)• (8.0, 26.0)Correct Answer(8.0, 26.0)Why This Is CorrectThe least squares regression linealways passes throughthe point:((x̄,ȳ))So the correct point is ((8.0, 26.0)).15. QuestionA point estimate for the slope of least squares regression line for all pairs in the population is:Answer Choices• the correlation coefficient for the pairs in the sample• the slope of the regression line for the pairs in the sample• the sum of the squares of the residuals for the regression line for the pairs in the sampleCorrect Answerthe slope of the regression line for the pairs in the sample

Study GuideWhy This Is CorrectThesample regression slope(b1) is used as thepoint estimatefor the population slope (β1).16. QuestionIf a confidence interval for the slope of the least squares regression line for all pairs in the populationhas anegative lower boundand apositive upper bound, then:Answer Choices• there is evidence of a positive linear association between the variables• there is evidence of a negative linear association between the variables• there is no evidence of a linear association between the variablesCorrect Answerthere is no evidence of a linear association between the variablesWhy This Is CorrectIf the confidence interval includes0, then the slope could be 0.So wecannotconclude there is a significant linear relationship.17. QuestionIf a confidence interval for the slope of the least squares regression line for all pairs in the populationhas apositive lower boundand apositive upper bound, then:Answer Choices• there is evidence of a positive linear association between the variables• there is evidence of a negative linear association between the variables• there is no evidence of a linear association between the variables
