Imagine that the linear correlation between variables X and Y is r = 0.35. Further imagine that the mean of variable X is 4 and that the mean of variable Y is 6. If we correctly calculated a simple linear regression equation to predict values of Y (based on the corresponding value of X), how much error could we remove from our predictions, relative to just guessing the mean of Y = 6 for everyone in the data set?
From the regression analysis, we know
Total sum of squares of Y = Sum of squares due to regression + Sum of squares due to error
Total sum of squares is the sum of square error if each observation is predicted as Y bar that is 6
Coefficient of determination = r square measure the proportion of variance explained by our regression equation
Here, r is 0.35 which means r square is 0.1225. Hence, 12.25 % of error is reduced if we use regression equation.

In a simple linear regression study between two variables x ( the independent variable) and y (the dependent variable), a random large sample is collected and the coefficient of correlation r = −.98 is calculated. A)Which of the following conclusion may be made? Group of answer choices x and y are almost perfectly correlated, and y increases as x is increased. x and y are almost perfectly correlated, and y decreases as x is increased. x and y are moderately...

Let ˜x and ˜y be zero-mean, unit variance Gaussian random variables with correlation coefficients, . Suppose we form two new random variables using linear transformations: Let and be zero-mean, unit variance Gaussian random variables with correlation coefficients, p. Suppose we form two new random variables using linear transformations: Find constraints on the constants a, b, e, and d such that ù and o are inde- pendent.
Suppose that random variables X and Y are independent. Further, X is an exponential random variable with parameter 1 = 3, and Y is an uniformly distributed random variable on the interval (0,4). Find the correlation between X and Y, rounded to nearest .xx
True or false?: 1) If X and Y are standardized, then fit a linear regression line of standardized Y on standardized X, correlation between X and Y equals the slope of regression line. 2) If one calculates r for a set of numbers and then adds a constant to each value of one of the variables, the correlation will change. 3) The easiest way to determine if a relationship is linear is to calculate the regression line. 4) If the...

Chapter 10 13. The further the hypothesized mean is from the actual mean the lower is the power of the test. 14. The manager of the quality department for a tire manufacturing company wants to know the average tensile strength of rubber used in making a certain brand of radial tire. She knows the population standard deviation and uses a Z test to test the null hypothesis that the mean tensile strength is 800 pounds per square inch. The calculated...
1. Identify the formula for predicting an individual's z score on the dependent variable from their z score on the independent variable. a.) (rxy)(zy) b.) (rxy)(zx) c.) zx/zy d.) (zx)(zy) 2. Data from the 1993 World Almanac and Book of Facts were used to predict the life expectancy for men in a country from the life expectancy of women in that country. The resulting regression equation was Yˆ = 9.32 + 0.79(X). Using the regression equation, what would you predict...
Select all of the following statements that are true about linear regression analysis of quantitative variables. If the purpose of our regression model is prediction, it does not matter which variables we define as the explanatory and response variable. The observed values of Y will fall on the estimated regression line, while the predicted values of Y will vary around the regression line. The purpose of linear regression is to investigate if there exists a linear relationship between a response...
