1.

Simple linear regression is

a)

unstandardized

b)

standardized

c)

only an inferential statistic

d)

only used when the predictor is a continuous variable

2.

When researchers decide to use regression instead of correlation, they must

a)

transform the data to z scores

b)

ensure the alternative hypothesis depicts a direction for the slope

c)

now evaluate assumptions (correlation does not have assumptions)

d)

interpret two parameter estimates

3.

What is the predicted final examination score if the slope is equal to zero?

a)

Cannot answer this question with the information provided

b)

0

c)

8.36

d)

52.79

4.

In Simple Linear Regression, the researcher is trying to describe as much of _____________ as possible

a)

Sum of Squares Residual

b)

Sum of Squares for X

c)

Sum of Squares for Y

d)

Sum of Squares Model

5.

Describe the slope for this scenario

a)

For every .426 increase in attendance, the mean midterm grade increases by one unit

b)

The slope is equal to zero because the 95% CI does not include 1

c)

For every unit increase in attendance, the mean midterm grade increases by .426

d)

For every unit increase in attendance, the mean midterm grade increases by .757

6.

When attendance equals zero, the predicted midterm grade equals

a)

Do not have enough information to answer this question

b)

52.24

c)

.426

d)

4.78

7.

Using the output, you will

a)

Reject the null hypothesis

b)

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

c)

I need the ANOVA Table to answer this question

d)

I need the Model Summary Table to answer this question

8.

The line of best fit is the model with

a)

the steepest slope

b)

the smallest residuals

c)

the smallest distance between the basic model and the regression model

d)

the greatest sum of squared residual

9.

The line of best fit is

a)

the simple linear regression model in the population

b)

the simple linear regression model in the sample

c)

the correlation in the population that we estimate via the intercept and slope

d)

the population intercept and slope that we adjust down because we are using a sample

10.

If a researcher's alpha = .01 and the regression results tell us the p = .032, the researcher should

a)

Reject the Null Hypothesis

b)

Accept the Null Hypothesis

c)

Fail to Reject the Null Hypothesis

d)

Fail to Prove the Alternative Hypothesis

11.

 y=?+b1x1y=?+b_1x_1  

The ? should be the...

a)

slope

b)

residual

c)

intercept

d)

outcome

12.

Who is the greatest Spring 2020, ERSH 6300, Wednesday Evening, 5:00 - 7:45, instructor?

a)

If the confidence interval does not contain 0, Amanda

b)

I don't have enough information to answer this question

c)

There is only one instructor at this day/time for this course, therefore no model is needed. It is Amanda and this is an exact solution (no probability statement necessary)

d)

If p < .05, Amanda

13.

In words, what is the Null Hypothesis for Simple Linear Regression?

a)

t statistic not equal to zero

b)

the sample slope is not equal to zero

c)

the slope in the population is equal to zero
