(CO 6) Two variables have a positive linear correlation. Does the independent variable increase or decrease as the dependent variable increases?
Correct Answer
Independent variable increases
Independent variable decreases
Independent variable would remain the same
Cannot determine from information given
(CO 6) Find the regression equation for the following data set
x 245 187 198 189 176 266 210 255
y 50 54 55 78 44 41 51 60
Correct!
ŷ = -0.09x + 74.17
ŷ = 74.17x – 0.09
cannot be determined
ŷ = 0.09x – 74.17
