Question 1
A regression line was found from data with x between 4 and 16 and strong correlation. How reliable is a prediction for x = 37?
- A. Reliable: it is interpolation within the data
- B. Unreliable: it is extrapolation beyond the data
Question 2
For students who revised 1 to 15 hours, the regression line for test score y on revision hours x is y = 14 + 6.5x. Predict the score for 8 hours of revision.
Answer
Question 3
The regression line is ŷ = 6x + 21. By how much does the predicted y change when x increases by 1?
Answer
Question 4
For a sample of teenagers, sleep per week s (hours) and daily screen time x (hours) give s = 60 − 0.6x. What does −0.6 tell you?
- A. A teenager with no screen time sleeps 0.6 hours
- B. The correlation coefficient is −0.6
- C. Screen time causes 0.6 hours less sleep
- D. Each extra hour of screen time goes with about 0.6 fewer hours of sleep per week, on average
Question 5
A correlation coefficient is r = −0.4. How would you describe the correlation?
- A. strong positive
- B. strong negative
- C. weak positive
- D. weak negative
- E. no linear correlation
Question 6
A regression line was found from data with x between 1 and 9 and strong correlation. How reliable is a prediction for x = 2?
- A. Reliable: it is interpolation within the data
- B. Unreliable: it is extrapolation beyond the data
Question 7
For students who revised 1 to 15 hours, the regression line for test score y on revision hours x is y = 7 + 3.5x. Predict the score for 12 hours of revision.
Answer
Question 8
The regression line is ŷ = 2.5x + 11. A data point is (13, 38.5). What is its residual (actual − predicted)?
Answer
Question 9
For a sample of teenagers, sleep per week s (hours) and daily screen time x (hours) give s = 60 − 2x. What does −2 tell you?
- A. Screen time causes 2 hours less sleep
- B. A teenager with no screen time sleeps 2 hours
- C. The correlation coefficient is −2
- D. Each extra hour of screen time goes with about 2 fewer hours of sleep per week, on average
Question 10
A correlation coefficient is r = −0.4. How would you describe the correlation?
- A. strong positive
- B. strong negative
- C. weak positive
- D. weak negative
- E. no linear correlation
Question 11
A regression line was found from data with x between 1 and 14 and strong correlation. How reliable is a prediction for x = 38?
- A. Reliable: it is interpolation within the data
- B. Unreliable: it is extrapolation beyond the data
Question 12
For students who revised 1 to 15 hours, the regression line for test score y on revision hours x is y = 38 + 7x. Predict the score for 10 hours of revision.
Answer
Question 13
The regression line is ŷ = 5x + 5. A data point is (2, 16). What is its residual (actual − predicted)?
Answer
Question 14
For a sample of teenagers, sleep per week s (hours) and daily screen time x (hours) give s = 60 − 2.2x. What does −2.2 tell you?
- A. Each extra hour of screen time goes with about 2.2 fewer hours of sleep per week, on average
- B. The correlation coefficient is −2.2
- C. Screen time causes 2.2 hours less sleep
- D. A teenager with no screen time sleeps 2.2 hours
Question 15
A correlation coefficient is r = 0.45. How would you describe the correlation?
- A. strong positive
- B. strong negative
- C. weak positive
- D. weak negative
- E. no linear correlation
Question 16
A regression line was found from data with x between 5 and 19 and strong correlation. How reliable is a prediction for x = 40?
- A. Reliable: it is interpolation within the data
- B. Unreliable: it is extrapolation beyond the data
