There is strong positive correlation between the Price and the number of Carats in a diamond.

Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of Variance Inflation Factor (VIF)?
A VIF of less than 10 is unsatisfactory.

the expected value of Y for a particular value of independent variable X which tends to be on the regression line

In a multiple regression, executing and deriving a significant Global (ANOVA) test indicates that ______________________________.
at least one of the independent variables is significant in explaining changes in the dependent variable

A 95% confidence interval of a predicted Y-value can be interpreted as __________________.
95% of the observed Y-values is expected to be within this confidence interval

An increase of 1 SQFT is expected to increase the price of the property by $1.24.

In a regression equation Y= A + BX, what is A?
A is the Y intercept in the population or the value of Y when X=0

Low p-value indicates that variable Carats is in the rejection zone and is significant explaining changes in price of diamonds.

Demonstrate your essential knowledge in statistics by choosing a statement that does not describe a characteristic of coefficient of correlation.
When discussing appropriate multiple regression analysis, which of the following is an assumption of multiple regression?
I.There is a linear relationship between dependent variable and the set of independent variables.
II.The variations in residuals are not the same for small and large values of predicted Y
III.The independent variables are correlated.
I only

When describing a multiple linear regression equation Y= A + B1X1 + B2X2 + B3X3 + ... + BkXk, what is Bj?
Bj is the amount Y changes when Xj increases by 1 unit with all other independent variables are held constant

Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of Variance Inflation Factor (VIF)?
An independent variable with unsatisfactory VIF should not be removed from the model.

Which of the statement below best explains the coefficient of determination?
If multicollinearity is detected, which of the following should be the next step?
I.Increase the sample size and re-run the regression.
II. Re-run the regression with only the highly correlated independent variables.
III.Remove one of the highly correlated independent variables and re-run the regression.
When fitting a linear regression, the dependent variable is the variable ____________. 
I. being observed from independent variables
II. being predicted or estimated from the independent variables
III. used to predict or estimate the independent variables
II only

In a multiple regression, executing and deriving an insignificant Global (ANOVA) test indicates that _______________________________.
at least one of the independent variables is significant in explaining changes in the dependent variable

Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of coefficient of correlation?
In a multiple regression, after executing and deriving an insignificant Global (ANOVA) test, you should then _______________.
conduct a t-test for each individual regression coefficient

RESULTS: 90/100
