1. In regression analysis, the residuals represent the: 

A. difference between the actual y values and their predicted values 
B. difference between the actual x values and their predicted values 
C. square root of the coefficient of determination 
D. change in y per unit change in x

Answer: difference between the actual y values and their predicted values 

2.In the simple linear regression model, the slope represents the: 

A. value of x when y = 0 
B. change in y per unit change in x 
C. change in x per unit change in y 
D. value of y when x = 0

Answer: change in y per unit change in x

B. variation in x that is unexplained by variation in y 
C. variation in y that is explained by variation in x 
D. variation in x that is explained by variation in y

Answer:variation in y that is explained by variation in x 

4.If we are interested in determining whether two variables are linearly related, it is necessary to: 

A. perform the t-test of the coefficient of correlation ? 
B. perform the t-test of the slope ?1 
C. either A or B since they are identical 
D. calculate the regression standard error s

Answer: either A or B since they are identical
