First some questions about simple, linear, bivariate regression.
1 Of these correlation coefficient values, which represents the least strength of correlation? B
A +0.4
B +0.1
C -0.2
D -0.5
Answer: +0.1
Strength of correlation is indicated by coefficient of determination; coefficient of determination=correlation coefficient ^2. The least value is for r=0.1
r= r^2=
0.4 0.16
0.1 0.01
-0.2 0.04
-0.5 0.25

2 The t test for significance of the correlation coefficient has how many degrees of freedom? C
A n
B n-1
C n-2
D n-3
Answer: n-2

3 Which is NOT a good indicator of the goodness of fit of a regression equation? D
A Correlation coefficient
B Coefficient of determination
