  • 31. 

    The interpretation of the slope coefficient in the model y = B0 + B1X + e is?

    • A.

      1% change in X is associated with a B1 % change in Y

    • B.

      Change in X by one unit is associated with a B1 change in Y

    • C.

      Change in X by one unit is associated with a 100 B1 % change in Y

    • D.

      1% change in X is associated with a change in Y of 0.01 B1

    Correct Answer
    B. Change in X by one unit is associated with a B1 change in Y
    Explanation
    In the linear regression model y = B0 + B1X + e, B1 represents the slope coefficient. This coefficient quantifies the relationship between the independent variable (X) and the dependent variable (Y). Specifically, it indicates the change in Y for a one-unit change in X. For instance, if B1 is 2, then for every one-unit increase in X, Y is predicted to increase by 2 units. The slope coefficient is crucial in understanding the magnitude and direction of the linear relationship between the variables.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    Quadratic regression model equation is

    • A.

      Y = B0 + B1X + B2Y^2 + e

    • B.

      Y = B0 + B1Log(X) + e

    • C.

      Y = B0 + B1X + B2X^2 + e

    • D.

      Y^2 = B0 + B1X + e

    Correct Answer
    C. Y = B0 + B1X + B2X^2 + e
    Explanation
    C

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    If the coefficient of determination (R^2) is equal to 1, then the correlation coefficient (r)

    • A.

      Is also equal to 1

    • B.

      Lie between -1 or +1

    • C.

      Be either of -1 to +1

    • D.

      Must be -1

    Correct Answer
    C. Be either of -1 to +1
    Explanation
    The coefficient of determination (R^2) represents the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable. It ranges from 0 to 1. The correlation coefficient (r) measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables, ranging from -1 to +1. When R^2 = 1, it signifies a perfect linear association between the variables, implying that all data points fall perfectly on a straight line. This perfect linear relationship can be either positive (r = +1) or negative (r = -1)
