True or False: If the slope of the least square line is positive then the value or r will also be positive.

• True

• False

True or False: If the correlation coefficient (r) is negative, then the coefficient of determination (r^2) will be positive.

• True

• False

If r = 0.9, then the 90% of variation in the response variable that is explained by the explained by the explanatory variable in the least-squares regression line.

• True

• False

True or False: The least-squares regression line will always pass throught the ordered-pair (mean of x, mean of y).

• True

• False

True or False: It is risky to use the least-squares regression equation to make a prediction that is outside the range of values in the observed values.
