Submit

5. True or False: Outliers have no effect on regression coefficients.

True

False

6. True or False: Linear regression assumes a linear relationship between variables.

True

False

7. True or False: A high R-squared value always indicates a good regression model.

True

False

8. What does the standard error of the regression estimate?

The average distance of observations from the regression line

The slope of the best-fit line

The correlation between variables

The proportion of variance explained

9. In regression diagnostics, what does a Q-Q plot help assess?

Whether residuals are normally distributed

The strength of the relationship between variables

The presence of outliers only

The linearity of the regression line

10. What is the relationship between correlation coefficient and regression slope?

The slope equals the correlation coefficient multiplied by the ratio of standard deviations

They are always equal

They have no mathematical relationship

The slope is always larger than correlation

11. What does the slope coefficient in a simple linear regression model represent?

The change in the dependent variable for each one-unit increase in the independent variable

The average value of the dependent variable

The correlation between the two variables

The error term in the regression equation

12. What does the term 'overfitting' mean in regression modeling?

A model fits the training data too closely and performs poorly on new data

The regression line has a negative slope

There are too few independent variables

The R-squared value is below 0.5

13. In linear regression, what is a residual?

The difference between observed and predicted values

The slope of the regression line

The correlation between variables

The mean of the dependent variable

14. What does heteroscedasticity in regression indicate?

The variance of residuals is not constant across fitted values

The residuals follow a normal distribution

The independent variables are uncorrelated

The model has perfect fit

15. A p-value less than 0.05 in a regression coefficient test suggests what?

The coefficient is statistically significant

The model has poor fit

The residuals are not normal

Multicollinearity is present

16. What is the purpose of the intercept in a linear regression equation?

The predicted value of the dependent variable when all independent variables equal zero

The maximum value the dependent variable can reach

The rate of change between variables

The correlation coefficient

17. In multiple linear regression, what does multicollinearity refer to?

High correlation between independent variables

Multiple dependent variables

Nonlinear relationships in the data

Unequal sample sizes

18. Which metric is used to assess how well a regression line fits the data?

Mean Squared Error (MSE)

Quartile deviation

Mode

Range

19. What assumption must be satisfied for linear regression residuals?

Residuals should be normally distributed around zero

Residuals must be perfectly correlated

Residuals should increase with the fitted values

Residuals must equal the dependent variable

20. In linear regression, the R-squared value measures what?

The proportion of variance in the dependent variable explained by the independent variables

The slope of the regression line

The sum of all residuals

The significance level of the regression
