True or False
_____I. If a negative correlation exists between X and Y, and a new data point is added whose ZX = -2.5 and ZY = 2.5, |r| will decrease.
_____J. If a positive correlation exists between X and Y, and a new data point is added whose ZX = 2.5 and ZY = 2.5, |r| will decrease.
_____K. In simple linear regression predicting Y from X, the unstandardized coefficient of the X variable will always equal the Pearson r between X and Y. (Assume X and Y are not measured as z scores.)
_____L. In simple linear regression predicting Y from X, the standardized coefficient of the X variable will always equal the Pearson r between X and Y.
_____M. In multiple regression predicting Y from two X variables, the standardized coefficient for the first X variable will always equal the Pearson r between that X and Y.
_____I. If a negative correlation exists between X and Y, and a new data point is added whose ZX = -2.5 and ZY = 2.5, |r| will decrease.
Since ZX = -2.5 and ZY = 2.5 are of opposite signs and absolute value is greater than 2, the absolute value of negative correlation will increase. The statement is False.
_____J. If a positive correlation exists between X and Y, and a new data point is added whose ZX = 2.5 and ZY = 2.5, |r| will decrease.
Since ZX = 2.5 and ZY = 2.5 are of same signs and absolute value is greater than 2, the absolute value of positive correlation will increase. The statement is False.
_____K. In simple linear regression predicting Y from X, the unstandardized coefficient of the X variable will always equal the Pearson r between X and Y. (Assume X and Y are not measured as z scores.)
In simple linear regression predicting Y from X, the standardized coefficient of the X variable will always equal the Pearson r between X and Y. The statement is False.
_____L. In simple linear regression predicting Y from X, the standardized coefficient of the X variable will always equal the Pearson r between X and Y.
In simple linear regression predicting Y from X, the standardized coefficient of the X variable will always equal the Pearson r between X and Y. The statement is True.
_____M. In multiple regression predicting Y from two X variables, the standardized coefficient for the first X variable will always equal the Pearson r between that X and Y.
In multiple regression predicting Y from two X variables, the standardized coefficient for the first X variable will always equal the partial r between that X and Y. The statement is False.
