Question

E. The best-fit regression line to predict Y when you know X will always go through the point Z_X = 0 and Z_Y = 0. F. If a positive correlation exists between X and Y, and the range of X is then greatly restricted, |r| must increase. G. If a positive correlation exists between X and Y, and a new data point is added whose Z_X = 3 and Z_Y = 0, the correlation will decrease. H. If no correlation exists between X and Y, and a new data point is added whose Z_X = 2.5 and Z_Y = 2.5, r will increase. I. If a negative but imperfect correlation exists between X and Y, and a new data point is added whose Z_X = 2.5 and Z_Y = 2.5, |r| will decrease. J. In correlation, reverse-scoring the X variable by multiplying each z score by -1 (so that originally high scores on X are now low, and originally low scores on X are now high) will not change the value of r^2.

Explanation / Answer

E. False, Not necessarily, since a line with intercept can also be a best fit regression equation

F. True, since |r| approaches to 1 forpositive correlation

G. False,Not necessarily it should decrease as the datapoints are large enough

H. No, It will remain same
