    If strength of the association between X and Y is very weak, then r = ? 

    • R = - 1

    • R = 0

    • R = 1

    • R = 2

    Correct Answer
    A. R = 0
    Explanation
    If the strength of the association between X and Y is very weak, it means that there is no linear relationship between the two variables. In other words, the correlation coefficient (r) would be close to zero. A correlation coefficient of 0 indicates that there is no linear relationship between X and Y, and they are not related to each other in any way.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The variance of the 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 is:

    • Zero

    • One

    • Twice the standard standard deviation

    • Half of the range

    Correct Answer
    A. Zero
    Explanation
    The variance of a set of numbers measures how spread out the numbers are from the average. In this case, all the numbers in the set are the same (3), so there is no variation or spread. Therefore, the variance is zero.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    My estimated regression line is Y = 17 + 4X. The intercept is equal to: 

    • 17

    • 4

    • 21

    • 13

    Correct Answer
    A. 17
    Explanation
    Y represents the dependent variable
    X represents the independent variable
    a represents the Y-intercept
    (i.e. the value of Y when X is equal to zero)
    b represents the slope of the line
    (i.e. the value of the tan , where  represents the angle between the line and the horizontal axis)

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    As the regression line equation is y = ax + b, where b is:

    • The x-intercept

    • The y-intercept

    • The slope

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. The y-intercept
    Explanation
    Y = y-axis
    a = slope
    x = x-axis
    b = y-intercept

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The point where a straight line cuts the x-axis is called:

    • Slope

    • Starting point

    • Y-intercept

    • X-intercept

    Correct Answer
    A. X-intercept
    Explanation
    The x-intercept is the point at which a straight line intersects the x-axis. It represents the value of x when y is equal to zero. In other words, it is the x-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the x-axis. The y-intercept, on the other hand, represents the value of y when x is equal to zero. The slope refers to the steepness of the line, while the starting point is not a commonly used term in relation to the x-axis.

  • 7. 

    In a positively skewed distribution:

    • The mean, median, and mode are all equal.

    • The mean is larger than the median

    • The median is larger than the mean.

    • The standard deviation must be larger than the mean or the median.

    Correct Answer
    A. The mean is larger than the median
    Explanation
    Positively Skewed Distribution (Tilted to left) mean > median > mode
    Negatively Skewed Distribution mode < median < mean (Tilted to right)

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    For a data, if mean > median then its distribution is:

    • Asymmetrical

    • Symmetrical

    • Left asymmetrical

    • Right asymmetrical

    Correct Answer
    A. Left asymmetrical
    Explanation
    Symmetrical Distribution
    mean = median = mode
    Positively Skewed Distribution(Tilted to left)mean > median > mode
    Negatively Skewed Distributionmode < median < mean(Tilted to right)
