For a semester they track if they have homework each day of the week. The segmented bar charts display the frequency with which homework is assigned each day of the week during this semester:

Is there an association between day of the week and how frequently homework is assigned for Nathan's and Lynn's schools?
How do you know there is an association? Select both answers.

There is an association between day of the week and how frequently homework is assigned at Lynn's school, but not at Nathan's.

Because the percent of time homework is assigned is the same each day of the week.

There is an association between day of the week and how frequently homework is assigned at Nathan's school, but not at Lynn's.

There is an association between day of the week and how frequently homework is assigned at both schools.

There is no association between day of the week and how frequently homework is assigned at either school.

Because the percent of time homework is assigned is different for different days of the week.

The scatterplot for two quantitative variables x and y appears below:
Check the three conditions, is it appropriate to calculate the correlation for the relationship between age and height?
Check all four answers.

Yes, it is appropriate

there is a possible outlier which will weaken the correlation

the shape is curved

the shape is roughly linear

both variables are quantitative

both variables are categorical

No, it is not appropriate

there are no outliers

c

The linear relationship between height and weight is moderately strong and positive.

The correlation -0.992 can also be interpreted as -0.992 miles per gallon for each mile per hour increase in speed.

The correlation would be stronger if we used miles per minute for speed.

Plotting speed on the y-axis and Fuel economy on the x-axis would change the correlation value.

Converting the variables from miles per hour and miles per gallon to kilometers per hour and kilometers per gallon would not change the correlation.

The outlier in the top graph brings the correlation closer to 0 while the outlier in the bottom graph brings the correlation closer to 1.

The outliers in both graphs bring the correlation closer to 1.

The price decreases $0.41 per hour so we need to know how many hours have passed in order to predict the price.

$44.18

The number of bids received is being used to predict the selling price.

A student taking a statistics class and needed a more advanced calculator. She collected selling price and number of bids received from Ebay.com on the same model of calculator she needs to purchase.
The equation of the regression line is: 
Calculate and interpret the residual for a calculator that received 16 bids and sold for $60.
Select 3 answers.

residual = $4.77

residual= -5.54

Predicted selling price = $64.25

Predicted selling price = $65.54

The regression model over predicted the price of the calculator.

residual= -$4.25

Predicted selling price = $55.23

The regression model under predicted the price of the calculator.

A student taking an upper level math needed a more advanced calculator. Ebay.com had several auctions for the calculator.
The time remaining in the auctions and the current bid price were recorded.
The equation for the least-squares regression line is:
What is the slope and the interpretation of the slope?

slope = -$0.41

slope = 68.78

The predicted bid price increases by $68.78 for each additional minute that the auction is active.

slope = 0.41

The predicted bid price decreases by $0.41 for each additional minute that the auction is active.

The predicted bid price decreases by $68.78 for each additional minute that the auction is active.

The predicted bid price increases by $0.41 for each additional minute that the auction is active.

A student taking an upper level math needed a more advanced calculator. Ebay.com had several auctions for the calculator.
The time remaining in the auctions and the current bid price were recorded.
The equation for the least-squares regression line is:
What is the y-intercept and the interpretation of the y-intercept?

y-intercept = 0.41

y-intercept = -68.78

y-intercept = 68.78

When there are no bids the selling price is $0.41.

The y intercept has no meaning in this context.

y-intercept = -0.41

When there are no bids the selling price is $68.78

The slope of A will be more negative than B.

Residual plot C

Residual plot A

Residual plot B

The residual plot shows random scatter or mostly random scatter.

The residual plot shows a definite pattern.

The exponential model is more appropriate than the quadratic model because the residual plot shows random scatter.

A medical researcher is interested in determining if there is a relationship between the consumption of artificial sweeteners and digestive health.
The two-way table displays the data:
What are the explanatory and response variables?

Artificial sweetener consumption can influence digestive health problems.

The explanatory variable is Artificial Sweetener Consumption

Digestive health problems can influence artificial sweetener consumption.

The response variable is Digestive Health Problems

The response variable is Artificial Sweetener Consumption

The explanatory variable is Digestive Health Problems

No, it does not make sense

the variables are quantitative

Yes, it makes sense

the variables are not quantitative

we can't decide this without first looking at the segmented bar charts
