QNT 275 Week 4 participation Final Exam Review

Week 4 Practice Problem #1

 

Team

 

Below is a problem that you may see on the Final Exam or the Quiz:

 

Which of the following violates the assumptions of regression analysis?

  • The error term does not have the normal distribution.
  • The error term has a constant variance.
  • The error term is uncorrelated with an explanatory variable.
  • The error term has a zero mean.

 

I chose the 1st option because there are 4 assumptions of Regression Analysis and the 1st option does not align to the 4 assumptions:

 

  1. There is a linear relationship between the Independent and the Dependent Variable
  2. There is a statistical indepedendence of errors
  3. Homoscedasticity of the errors which means there is a constant variance
  4. The Error doesfollow the Normal Distribution

 

What does the term Homoscedasticity mean?

Below is a problem that you may see on the Final Exam or on the Quiz

 

In the sample regression equation  what is  ?

 

 

  • The value of ywhen x = 0
  • The y-intercept
  • The predicted value of y, given a specific x value
  • The slope of the equation

 

Why would I have chosen the 3rd option? What is the relationship between X (the Independent Variable) and Y (the Dependent Variable)?

Below is a problem that you may see on the Final or on the Quiz

 

 

 

What type of relationship is indicated in the scatterplot?

 

  • A positive linear or curvilinear relationship
  • A negative linear relationship
  • No relationship
  • A negative curvilinear relationship

 

I picked the 1st option, because a positive relationship is illustrated on a Scatter Plot when the data points move from the bottom left to the upper right. What would a Negative Relationship look like if it was illustrated?

Below is a problem that you may see on the Final or on the Quiz:

 

Serial correlation is typically observed in:

  • sparse data
  • cross-sectional data
  • time series data
  • outliers

 

Why would I have selected Time Series Data?
