Question
Section 2: True or False
Please indicate whether the following statements are True, False, or Undetermined.
Statement
True
False
Undetermined
Two variables that are highly correlated are causally related.
Observed points closest to the regression line are given more weight than points far away (i.e., outliers).
The standard deviation is only useful as a measure of dispersion for normally distributed variables.
Two variables that have no observed correlation cannot be causally related.
When a survey sample has a potential bias (e.g., an opt-in sample hosted on a politically slanted website) that bias does not get smaller as the sample size increases.
A regression model with a R-square value closer to zero than 1 means the model explains a majority of the variance in the dependent variable
