In the formula for a linear regression, y' = x + bx. What is A?
the unstandardized regression weight
3 of 24
The scatterplot for a correlation of -1 would form?

A standard score or z score is calculated by
Dividing the score by the standard deviation
5 of 24
If a correlation is .2, what proportion of the variance of one variable can be predicted from the other?
40%
6 of 24
If a correlation is calculated for 20 cases, what will be the degree of freedom?
18
7 of 24
For multiple regression the beta weight indicates?
The correlations between the dependant and each independant variable
8 of 24
In the formula for a linear regression y' = a + bx. What is b?
the unstandardized regression weight
9 of 24

. 85
13 of 24
What does the adjusted r square indicate?
the predicted r square if the study is repeated
14 of 24
In a principal components analysis what do the communalities measures?
the proportion of variance of each variable captured by the factors
15 of 24
In principal components analysis what do eigenvalues measure?
the proportion of variance of each variable captured by the factors

a
17 of 24
What statistic would you examine to see if the interaction was significant?
r square change
18 of 24
What is the potential benefit of carrying out the investigation for an interaction using standard scores?
lower standard error
19 of 24
(see class test tables) Look at the above output, what test has Tom conducted?
logistic regression

Is the model significant?
yes
21 of 24
