Linear Regression - 600 • A newscaster read a study comparing the amount of time spent cleaning and weight of the homeowner. The study reported a correlation of –0.87. She then reported on the evening news that the more time you spend cleaning your house the skinner you will get. Which of the following is true? • She is incorrect since the correlation is negative which shows no relationship between the two variables. • She is correct since –0.87 shows a strong relationship between the variables. • The study must be incorrect because the correlation should be positive. • She is incorrect because she is confusing association with causation.

Probability I - 800 • A fair die is rolled 4 times and 6 appears each time. What is the probability that on the next roll the 6 will appear again? • It would be close to zeros since it is very unlikely that 6 would appear again after coming up so many times. • It would be close to one since the die appears to be on a streak of 6's • The probability remains 1/6 • The probability would be (1/6)5 = 1/7776

Probability II - 800 You read in a book about bridge that the probability that each of the four players is dealt exactly one ace is about 0.11. To simulate an outcome with probability 0.11 you could look at 2 digits in the random number table; the outcome occurs if the digits are 11. look at 2 digits in the random number table; the outcome occurs if the digits are any of 00, 01, …, 11. look at 2 digits in the random number table; the outcome occurs if the digits are any of 00, 01, …, 10. None of these would work.

Significance Tests- 600 A Census Bureau report on the income of Americans says that with 95% confidence the median income of all U.S. households in 1997 was $37,005 with a margin of error of $342. This means that 95% of all households had incomes in the range $37,005 $342. we can be 95% sure that the median income for all households in the country lies in the range $37,005 $342. 95% of the households in the sample interviewed by the Census Bureau had incomes in the range $37,005 $342. the Census Bureau got the result $37,005 $342 using a method that will cover the true median income 95% of the time when used repeatedly.
Significance Tests - 800 • If a significance test gives P-value 0.005, • A. the margin of error is 0.005. • B. the null hypothesis is very likely to be true. • C. we do not have good evidence against the null hypothesis. • D. we do have good evidence against the null hypothesis.
Significance Tests - 1000 A high school football coach claims the average weight of his players is 230 lbs. You suspect he may be wrong, and take a sample of 18 players and get a mean weight of 228 lbs. with a standard deviation of 4 lbs. What would your conclusion be if you ran a hypothesis test with = 0.05? Since our p-value is less than 0.05, we would reject the coach’s claim. Since our p-value is less than 0.05, we would not reject the coach’s claim. Since our p-value is greater than 0.05, we would reject the coach’s claim. Since our p-value is greater than 0.05, we would not reject the coach’s claim.

Linear Regression Suppose you run a linear regression for a data set and get r = 0.92. You then graph the residuals vs. the x-variable. The plot is shown on the right. What would be an appropriate interpretation of the residual plot? • Since the plot has a distinct curve to it, and since r = 0.92, the linear model is a good fit. • Since the plot has a distinct curve to it, and since r = 0.92, the linear model is not a good fit. • The shape of the residual plot doesn’t matter; since r = 0.92, the linear model is the best one. • Since the plot has a distinct curve, the linear model is not the best model for the data, even though r = 0.92.
