Identify the type of correlation coefficient apprpriate for
measuring the relationship between X and Y :
1. X= sex (M or F); Y= income (dollars)
2. X= IQ (above of below 100); Y= GPA (above or below
60%)
A linear correlation coefficient of 0.92 suggests a
________________ linear relationship than a linear correlation
coefficient of -0.86.
The value of the ___________________ always lies
between -1 and 1, inclusive.
If the linear correlation coefficient of the
regression line is negative, then the ____________________ of the
least squares (linear) regression line must be negative.
Give a detailed interpretation of the slope of a least
squares (linear) regression line.
Give a detailed interpretation of the intercept of a
least squares (linear)...
A researcher took a sample of 25
observations and calculated the correlation coefficient for X and Y
and found r = 0.68. Test at the 5% level the null hypothesis that
there is no correlation between X and Y.
List the type of correlation and casual relationship that you
would expect to find for each of the following pairs of variables.
a) the price of gasoline at the pump, the current world price of
crude oil b) the fish population in a lake, the number of cottages
around the lake c) the humidex rating (an index based on air
temperature and humidity), the number of respiratory ailments
reported d) the stock price of a telephone company, the cost of...

6. What is the difference between the correlation coefficient
and ?2? Why should the correlation coefficient be -1 and
1?
7. What is the utility of marginal effects in regression
models? How are they obtained?
8. What is heterocedasticity and homocedasticity? Explain how
to detect and correct the first.
a. Describe what the Pearson correlation coefficient is and what
the coefficient of determination is.
compare it to a real world example or a example problem
Can a correlation coefficient be statistically significant? If
so, what would be the null hypothesis be? Please provide good,
clear detail as if you were trying to explain the information in
detail but enough for a 12 year old to understand
What would you conclude if a sample correlation coefficient is
equal to -1.00?
A.
Most of the data points must fall exactly on a horizontal
straight line.
B.
All the data points must fall exactly on a straight line with a
positive slope.
C.
All the data points must fall exactly on a straight line with a
negative slope.
D.
Most of the data points must fall exactly on a straight line
with a positive slope.
