23 If two variables, x and y, have a very strong linear relationship, then
A there is evidence that x causes a change in y
B there is evidence that y causes a change in x
C there might not be any causal relationship between x and y
D None of these alternatives is correct

Answer: there might not be any causal relationship between x and y
24 If the coefficient of determination is equal to 1, then the correlation coefficient
A must also be equal to 1
B can be either -1 or +1
C can be any value between -1 to +1
D must be -1

Answer: can be either -1 or +1
25 In regression analysis, if the independent variable is measured in kilograms, the dependent variable
A must also be in kilograms
B must be in some unit of weight
C cannot be in kilograms
D can be any units

Answer: must also be in kilograms
26 In a regression analysis if SSE = 200 and SSR = 300, then the coefficient of determination is
A 0.6667
B 0.6000
C 0.4000
D All of the above

Answer: 0.6000
27 If the correlation coefficient is a positive value, then the slope of the regression line
A must also be positive
B can be either negative or positive
C can be zero
D can not be zero

Answer: must also be positive
28 If the coefficient of determination is 0.81, the correlation coefficient
A is 0.6561
B could be either + 0.9 or - 0.9
C must be positive
D must be negative

Answer: could be either + 0.9 or - 0.9
29 A fitted least squares regression line
A may be used to predict a value of y if the corresponding x value is given
B is evidence for a cause-effect relationship between x and y
C can only be computed if a strong linear relationship exists between x and y
D None of these alternatives is correct

Answer: may be used to predict a value of y if the corresponding x value is given
30 Assume the same variables as in question 28 above; height is measured in feet and weight is measured in pounds. Now, suppose that the units of both variables are converted to metric (meters and kilograms). The impact on the slope is:
A the sign of the slope will change
B the magnitude of the slope will change
C both a and b are correct
D neither a nor b are correct

Answer: the magnitude of the slope will change
