15
Q

Interpretation of r^2

A

Approximately r^2 % of the variation in y can be explained by the LSRL of x and y

16
Q

What is an influential point

A

A point that influences where the LSRL is located

17
Q

What happens I the influential point of a graph is removed?

A

It will significantly change the slope of the LSRL

18
Q

Is LSRL effected by an outlier

A

Yes

19
Q

Is correlation coefficient r resistant to outliers?

A

No

20
Q

Is the coefficient of determination effected by an outlier

A

Yes

21
Q

Least squares regression line LSRL is

A

A line that gives the line of best fit and it minimizes the sum of the squares of deviation from the line

22
Q

Slope interpretation

A

For each unit intense in x there is an approximate increase/decreases of b in y

23
Q

What happens to r ( the correlation coefficient ) when you do anything to the variables?

A

R the coefficient correlation does not change

24
Q

The natural log (ln) is equal to

A

Log e

25
Q

Normal log (log) is equal to

A

Log 10
