If the estimated intercept of the regression equation is negative, we can say the estimated correlation coefficient between the two variables is also negative. O True O False
The table below gives the age and bone density for 5 women. Use the equation of the regression line, y= b0 + b1x, for predicting a women's bone density based on her age. The correlation coefficient may or may not be statically significant for the data given. Remember it wouldn't be appropiate to use regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient isn;t statically significant.

According to an article, one may be able to predict an individual's level of support for ecology based on demographic and ideological characteristics. The multiple regression model proposed by the authors was the following. y = 3.60-.01x₁+.01.₂-.07x3+.12x4+.02xs-.04x6-01-.04.xg-.02.xg+c The variables are defined as follows. y = ecology score (higher values indicate a greater concern for ecology) X₁ = age times 10 x₂ = income (in thousands of dollars) x3 = gender (1 = male, 0 = female) X4 = race (1 = white, 0 = nonwhite) X5 = education (in years) x6 = ideology (4 = conservative, 3 = right of center, 2 = middle of the road, 1 = left of center, and 0 = liberal) X7 = social class (4 = upper, 3 = upper middle, 2 = middle, 1 = lower middle, 0 = lower) xg = postmaterialist (1 if postmaterialist, 0 otherwise) x9 = materialist (1 if materialist, 0 otherwise) (a) Suppose you knew a person with the following characteristics: a 30 year old, white female with a college degree (20 years of…
Can a causal relationship be established between a variable y and a variable x by running the following regressions: i) y = f(x) and ii) x = f(y). Explain in less than 75 words.
Jackson finds that the heavier a person is, the higher his pulse rate tends to be. A linear regression model he built suggests that 20-kilogram differences in weight correspond to differences in pulse rate of 5 beats per minute. Which of the following must be true and explain your answer. (I) The correlation coefficient between body weight and pulse rate is 1/4. (II) Your pulse rate slows down 3 beats per minute if your weight decreases by 12 kilograms.
In a fisheries researchers experiment the correlation between the number of eggs in tge nest and the number of viable (surviving ) eggs for a sample of nests is r=0.67 the equation of the regression line for number of viable eggs y versus number of eggs in the nest x is y =0.72x + 17.07 for a nest with 140 eggs what is the predicted number of viable eggs ?
A linear regression analysis reveals a strong, negative linear relationship between x and y. Which of the following could possibly be the results from this analysis? (A) ŷ 13.1 27.4x, r = 0.85 (B) == 27.4+ 13.1x, r = -0.95 (D) == (C) ŷ 13.1+ 27.4x, r = 0.95 542 385x, r = -0.15 (E) 0.85 0.25x, r = -0.85
Which of the following statements best describes linear regression? A measure of the degree of dependence between two variables. A statistical technique using pairs of data and identifying a line which ‘best fits’ all of the pairs of observations. A measure of the proportion of changes in the dependent variable which can be explained by a change in the independent variable. Shows individual costs against their associated activity levels but makes no attempt to identify a linear relationship between them.
