Question 51. Regression analysis was applied to return rates of sparrowhawk colonies. Regression analysis was used to study the relationship between return rate (x: % of birds that return to the colony in a given year) and immigration rate (y: % of new adults that join the colony per year). The following regression equation was obtained) ! = 31.9 – 0.34x Based on the above estimated regression equation, if the return rate were to decrease by 10% the rate of immigration to the colony would________________
  1.    increase by 34%
  2.    increase by 3.4%
  3.    decrease by 0.34%
  4.    decrease by 3.4%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> increase by 3.4%


Question 52. In a regression and correlation analysis if r 2 = 1, then ________
  1.    SSE = SST
  2.    SSE = 1
  3.    SSR = SSE
  4.    SSR = SST
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> SSR = SST


Question 53. If the coefficient of determination is equal to 1, then the correlation coefficient ______
  1.    must also be equal to 1
  2.    can be either -1 or +1
  3.    can be any value between -1 to +1
  4.    must be -1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> can be either -1 or +1


Question 54. The data are the same as for question 4 above. The relationship between number of beers consumed (x) and blood alcohol content (y) was studied in 16 male college students by using least squares regression. The following regression equation was obtained from this study: != -0.0127 + 0.0180x Suppose that the legal limit to drive is a blood alcohol content of 0.08. If Ricky consumed 5 beers the model would predict that he would be____________
  1.    0.09 above the legal limit
  2.    0.0027 below the legal limit
  3.    0.0027 above the legal limit
  4.    0.0733 above the legal limit
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 0.0027 below the legal limit


Question 55. If the correlation coefficient is 0.8, the percentage of variation in the response variable explained by the variation in the explanatory variable is____________
  1.    0.80%
  2.    80%
  3.    0.64%
  4.    64%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 80%


Question 56. If the correlation coefficient is a positive value, then the slope of the regression line __________
  1.    must also be positive
  2.    can be either negative or positive
  3.    can be zero
  4.    can not be zero
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> can not be zero


Question 57. If the coefficient of determination is 0.81, the correlation coefficient _________
  1.    is 0.6561
  2.    could be either + 0.9 or - 0.9
  3.    must be positive
  4.    must be negative
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> is 0.6561


Question 58. Regression analysis was applied between $ sales (y) and $ advertising (x) across all the branches of a major international corporation. The following regression function was obtained) ! = 5000 + 7.25x If the advertising budgets of two branches of the corporation differ by $30,000, then what will be the predicted difference in their sales? _________
  1.    $217,500
  2.    $222,500
  3.    $5000
  4.    $7.25
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> $217,500
