_______ 1. The usual objective of regression analysis is to predict estimate the value
of one variable
when the value of another variable is known.
_______ 2. Correlation analysis is concerned with measuring the strength of the
relationship between
two variables.
2. _______ 3. The term ei in the simple linear regression model indicates the amount of
change in Y for a
unit change in X.
_______ 4. In the sample regression equation y = a + bx, b is the slope of the
regression line.
_______ 5. The coefficient of determination can assume any value between -1 and +1.
_______ 6. In the least squares model, the explained sum of squares is always smaller
than the

the same sign.
_______ 8. Given the sample regression equation y = -3 + 5x, we know that in the
sample X and Y are
inversely related.

(Yi Y ) ˆ
ˆ
3. (Y Y ) (Yi Y ) . _______ 11. Regression analysis is concerned with the form of the
relationship among variables,
whereas correlation analysis is conc erned with the strength of the relationship.
_______ 12. The correlation coefficient indicates the amount of change in Y when X
change by one unit.
_______ 13. In simple linear regression analysis, when the slope is equal to zero, the
independent
variable does not explain any of the variability in the dependent variable.
_______ 14. One of the purposes of regression analysis is to estimate a mean of the
independent
variable for given values of the dependent variable.
_______ 15. The variable that can be manipulated by the investigator is called the
independent variable.
_______ 16. When b = 0, X and Y are not related.
_______ 17. If zero is contained in the 95% confidence interval for b, we may reject H
o: b = 0 at the 0.05
level of significance.
_______ 18. If in a regression analysis the explained sum of squares is 75 and the
unexplained sum of
square is 25, r2 = 0.33.
4. _______ 19. In general, the smaller the dispersion of observed points about a fitted
regression line, the
larger the value of the coefficient of determination.

relationship between X
and Y is said to be inverse. Part B: Select the correct answer for the following
