True/False

1. True The dependent variable is the variable that is being described,


predicted, or controlled.
2. True A simple linear regression model is an equation that describes the
straight-line relationship between a dependent variable and an independent
variable.
3.True The residual is the difference between the observed value of the
dependent variable and the predicted value of the dependent variable.
4. False When using simple regression analysis, if there is a strong correlation
between the independent and dependent variable, then we can conclude that
an increase in the value of the independent variable causes an increase in the
value of the dependent variable.
5.True In a simple linear regression model, the correlation coefficient not only
indicates the strength of the relationship between independent and
dependent variable, but also shows whether the relationship is positive or
negative.
6.True If r = -1, then we can conclude that there is a perfect relationship
between X and Y.

7.True The slope of the simple linear regression equation represents the
average change in the value of the dependent variable per unit change in the
independent variable (X).

8. False The least squares simple linear regression line minimizes the sum of the
vertical deviations between the line and the data points.

9. False The notation Ŷ refers to the average value of the dependent variable
Y.

10. False A significant positive correlation between X and Y implies that changes
in X cause Y to change.

11. True The estimated simple linear regression equation minimizes the sum of
the squared deviations between each value of Y and the line.

20. While the range for r2 is between 0 and 1, the range for r is between
-1 and 1

21. The y intercept of the simple linear regression model is the value of y when
the mean value of x is zero.

22. The least squares point estimates of the simple linear regression model
minimize the SSE (sum of the squared errors).

23. Linear Regression Analysis is a statistical technique in which we use observed


data to relate a dependent variable to one or more predictor (independent)
variables.

24. The simple linear regression model assumes there is a linear relationship
between the dependent variable and the independent variable.

25. In a simple linear regression model, the y intercept term is the mean value of y
when x equals 0.

26. In a simple linear regression model, the slope term is the change in the mean
value of y associated with a 1 unit increase in x.

27. The Correlation coefficient measures the strength of the relationship


between a dependent variable (Y) and an independent variable (X). It is a unit less
measure, therefore does not have an interpretative connotation, as does the
coefficient of determination, r 2 .

28. After plotting the data points on a scatter diagram, we have observed an
inverse relationship between the independent variable (X) and the dependent
variable (Y). Therefore, we can expect both the sample slope and the sample
Correlation coefficient to be a negative value.
