Q.4) As the regression line equation is y = ax + b, where b is
A. The x-intercept
B. The y-intercept (correct answer)
C. The slope
D. None of these
Explanation
Y = y-axis
a = slope

b = y-intercept

Q.5) My estimated regression line is Y = 17 + 4X. The intercept is equal to:
A. 17 (correct answer)
B. 4
C. 21
D. 13
Explanation
Y represents the dependent variable
X represents the independent variable
a represents the Y-intercept
(i.e. the value of Y when X is equal to zero)
b represents the slope of the line
represents the angleq, where q(i.e. the value of the tan between the line and the
horizontal axis)

Q.6) The point where a straight line cuts the x-axis is called
A. slope
B. starting point
C. y-intercept
D. x-intercept (correct answer)

Q.7) If strength of the association between X and Y is very weak, then r = ?
A. r = - 1
B. r = 0 (correct answer)
C. r = 1
D. r = 2

Q.8) In a positively skewed distribution
A. The mean, median, and mode are all equal.
B. The mean is larger than the median (correct answer)
C. The median is larger than the mean.
D. The standard deviation must be larger than the mean or the median.
Explanation
Positively Skewed Distribution (Tilted to left) mean > median > mode
