    AP Siatisties NAME: Ch. 3 Multiple Choice Mr. Dooley |. For the years 1950-1980, the numberof heart disease death per 100,000 people in the United ‘States were recorded. The regression line below was computed using a Satstical software package. Which statement isthe corect interpretation of the slope? ‘The regression equation is Number of deaths=7387~3.63 year (A) The numberof heart disease deaths per 100,000 people has been dropping by an estimated 3.63 deaths per year on the average. (B) There is an increase of approximately 7387 deaths per year. (©) For every 3.63 years there is decrease on the average of I death due to heart disease per 100,000 people. (D) The regression line estimates that for every 3.63 years there isan average ‘increase of | death due o heart disease per 100,000 people, (©) Heart disease willbe cured inthe year 2036, 2. Which ofthe following statements about a linear regression model is true? The sum of the residuals is always zero, II. If°=0, the regression line isa horizontal ne. IIL. No pattern in the residual plot isan indication that a nonlinear model will show a better fifo the data than a straight-line regression model. (A) Lonly (B) Land tf only (©) Land Il only (©) Hand M1 only (©) 1M and tl | 7 Ina statistics course, a linear regression equation was computed to predict the final ‘exam score based on the score on the frst test of the tem The equation was: 5= 25 + 0.7x where y is the final exam score and xis the score onthe first test. George scored 80 on the first test. On the final exam George scored 85. What is the value of his residual? ws 4 © 4s Os © a 8, Suppose the regression line for a set of dat, j= 3x++b, passes through point (2,5), fand 9 are the sample means of the x andy Values respectively, then 9 es @) 3-2 (©) B45 (O) 3x Ox 40. student was interested in the relationship between weight of a car and gas consumption measured in mpg, He selected sixteen differen automobiles and recorded ‘heit weights along with their advertised mpg, The regression equation and regression plot are shown below Regression Plot ye e2sa- LapEaax. RSQ 02% 2000 3000 4000 Weight ‘What affect would the addition of the point (4,300 Ibs. 15.63mpg) have on the value of j (A) It-vill have no effet on ? because it ies on the line. (B) Iwill have no effet on because its value isthe same as (5). (©) Itwill decrease r? because i san outlier. {(D) It wil increase r* because itis an influential point which lies on the least squares line. (©) Itwill increase r* because every additional point will increase the percent variation in y due to the relationship withthe least squares line. 31. The residual plot below came from data which plotted grade at midterm against grade | on final exam. A linear regression line was calculated, Which conetusion could be reached by analyzing the residual plot? Residual Plot | RES. 2» 0 7% 9 100 | Midkerm (A) Anexponential curve could be used to predict final grade given midterm grade, (B) Students did better on the final exam then they did on the midterm. (C) There is evidence that a linear model is appropriate. (D) There exists unequal variance throughout the model | (E) There is no pattern evident in the residual plot. 11. A teacher raised each student's grade by 10 points on an algebra exam, Which ofthe folowing deseribes the corelaton between stents original grades andtheiajusted_| arades? (A) slightly negative (B) slightly positive (©) close to0 i @)-1 @1 18, The equation of the least squares regression line fora set of points in a scattorpat is given by j= 2.2+ O81x. The point (5,7) is one point on this seatterplot. Which of the following is the residual for the point (5,7)? wor (B) 0.75 © 405 (0) 625 ©) 787 | 22, The correlation between height and weight among men between the ages of 18 and 70 in the United States is approximately 0.42. Which ofthe following conclusions does [NOT follow from the data? (A) Teller mea tend to be heavier, (B) Changing the units of weight and height would stl yield the same correlation value (©) Heavier men tend tobe taller. (D) Ifa man in ths group changes his diet and gains 10 pounds, he is likely to get taller (©) There is a moderate association between a man’s height and weight. 30. The points (x, y) on a seatterplot form an ellipse. As the ellipse becomes thinner, what «an be concluded about the correlation r between the variables x and y? (A) r decreases in absolute value (B) r increases in absolute value (©) rremains constant (D) the valve ofr changes sign (©) no conclusion can be drawn 32, The correlation r between the magnitude of an earthquake and the depth below the surface ofthe earth at which the quake occurs has been determined experimentally to bbe about 0.51. Suppose we use the magnitude ofthe earthquake (x) to predict the depth, below the surface (y) at which the quake occurs. We ean infer that (A) the least squares regression line ofy om x has slope equal to 0.51 (B) the fration ofthe variation in depths explained by the least squares regression line of y on xis 0.26 (©) about 51% ofthe time, the magnitude ofan earthquake will accurately predict the depth at which the earthquake occurs (D) the numerical value of the depth is usually $19 ofthe numerical value of the earthquake (©) twenty-six percent ofthe data values lie on the least squaies regression line 2. There isa Tinea relationship between the duration x (in seconds) of an eruption of ‘eyser and the interval of time y (in minutes) until the next eruption. A least-squares regression line of data collected by a geologist is represented by, $= 41.9 + 0.18, 100
