Practice Sample Questions STA404

This document provides sample questions to test understanding of concepts from lectures 1-5 on regression and correlation analysis. It includes 5 multiple choice questions testing concepts like identifying dependent and independent variables on scatter plots, defining the intercept and slope of a regression line, and properties of the correlation coefficient. It also provides 12 descriptive questions involving calculations like computing residuals, finding the regression slope and intercept, correlation coefficients, and interpreting scatter plots. Answers to the 5 multiple choice questions are provided at the end.
