# Correlation and Regression 1

This quiz is about MCQ on correlation and regression analysis.

This Section contains MCQs on Correlation Analysis, Simple Regression Analysis, Multiple Regression Analysis, Coefficient of Determination (Explained Variation), Unexplained Variation, Model Selection Criteria, Model Assumptions, Interpretation of results, Intercept, Slope, Partial Correlation, Significance tests, OLS Assumptions, Multicollinearity, Heteroscedasticity, Autocorrelation, etc. Let us start MCQ on Correlation and Regression Analysis

1. If $\rho=0$, the lines of regression are:

2. The estimate of $\beta$ in the regression equation $Y=\alpha+\beta\,X + e$ by the method of least square is:

3. The lines of regression intersect at the point

4. When two variables more in the same direction then the correlation between the variable is

5. If each of $X$ variable is divided by 5 and $Y$ by 10 then $\beta_{YX}$ by coded value is:

6. If the correlation coefficient between the variables $X$ and $Y$ is $\rho$, the correlation coefficient between $X^2$ and $Y^2$ is

7. In multiple linear regression analysis, the square root of Mean Squared Error (MSE) is called the:

8. Regression coefficient is independent of

9. If $\beta_{XY}$ and $\beta_{YX}$ are two regression coefficients, they have

10. If $\beta_{YX}>1$, then $\beta_{XY}$ is:

11. If regression line $\hat{y}=5$ then value of regression coefficient of $y$ on $x$ is

12. If $X$ and $Y$ are two independent variates with variance $\sigma_X^2$ and $\sigma_Y^2$, respectively, the coefficient of correlation between $X$ and ($X-Y$) is equal to:

13. If all the actual and estimated values of $Y$ are the same on the regression line, the sum of squares of errors will be

14. If $\rho$ is the correlation coefficient, the quantity $\sqrt{1-\rho^2}$ is termed as

15. Homogeneity of three or more population correlation coefficients can be tested by

16. An investigator reports that the arithmetic mean of two regression coefficients of a regression line is 0.7 and the correlation coefficient is 0.75. Are the results

17. The average of two regression coefficients is always greater than or equal to the correction coefficient is called:

18. The geometric mean of the two regression coefficient $\beta_{YX}$ and $\beta_{XY}$ is equal to:

19. If the two lines of regression are perpendicular to each other, the correlation coefficient $r=$ is:

20. The range of a partial correlation coefficient is:

Correlation is a statistical measure used to determine the strength and direction of the mutual relationship between two quantitative variables. The regression describes how an explanatory variable is numerically related to the dependent variables.

Both of the tools are used to represent the linear relationship between the two quantitative variables. The relationship between variables can be observed either using graphical representation between the variables or numerical computation using appropriate computational formula.

Note that neither regression nor correlation analyses can be interpreted as establishing some cause-and-effect relationships. Both of these can be used to indicate only how or to what extent the variables under study are associated (or mutually related) with each other. The correlation coefficient measures only the degree (strength) and direction of linear association between the two variables. Any conclusions about a cause-and-effect relationship must be based on the judgment of the analyst.

5. Rupali says:

If x and y are uncorreleunc then vat(x-y)=? Give explanation

• If X and Y are uncorrelated then X and Y must be independent variables.
Independent variables have zero correlation, so will result in: $Var(X-Y)=Var(X)+Var(Y)$

6. Shamnaz Nazeer says:

It’s usefulness for the study of Quantitative techniques

7. Prabin says:

Great Wortk

8. Anurag Joshi says:

In the linear regression equation:

Which variable is fixed and which one is random, between x & y ?

• The variable X and Y both are random in real sense. However, regarding the theory of least square, Variable X is assumed to be fixed (known). In other words, they (X’s) are assumed to have no random error. Also note that, in observational studies X is random while in experimental studies X is fixed.

• Perez says:

Can the correlation coefficient distinguish between the dependent and independent random variables with regards to question one?

• Correlation is a measure of strength between two quantitative variables. It measures the interdependence between these variables, so one cannot distinguish between the dependent and independent using only correlation coefficient.
