Gina's doctor told her that the standardized score (z- score) for her systolic blood pressure, as compared to the blood pressure of other women her age, is 1.50. Which of the following is the best interpretation of this standardized score?

• Gina's systolic blood pressure is 150.

• Gina's systolic blood pressure is 1.50 standard deviations above the average systolic blood pressure of women her age.

• Gina's systolic blood pressure is 1.50 above the average systolic blood pressure of women her age.

• Gina's systolic blood pressure is 1.50 times the average systolic blood pressure for women her age.

• Only 1.5% of women Gina's age have a higher systolic blood pressure than she does.

Which of the graphs would have a correlation coefficient of r = 0.69 ?

Which of the following is the regression equation for this data?

• Price^ = 87.3180 - 19.4(Area)

• Price^ = -19.4 + 0.1297(Area)

• Area^ = -19.4 + 0.1297(Price)

• Price^ = 0.1297 - 19.4(Area)

Estimate the correlation coefficient.

• r = -0.8

• r = -0.5

• r = 0.5

You are analyzing a scatter plot that has a negative correlation. What is true of the of the x and y values?

• As x increases, y decreases

• As x increases, y increases

• As x decreases, y decreases

In order to estimate the proportion of students that text while driving, a school administrator selects a simple random sample of students from a list of all students at the school who have parking permits. The students are called to the office, one at a time. The administrator asks each student, “Do you text while driving, even though you are not supposed to?” Based on the survey, the administrator estimates that only 2% of students with parking passes text while driving. What potential bias is present in the design of this survey and what is the likely direction of the bias?

• The sample proportion is likely an underestimate of the population proportion due to response bias.

• The sample proportion is likely an underestimate of the population proportion due to undercoverage.

• The sample proportion is likely an underestimate of the population proportion due to nonresponse.

• The sample proportion is likely an overestimate of the population proportion due to response bias.

• The sample proportion is likely an overestimate of the population proportion due to undercoverage.
