Q: For each correlation coefficient below, calculate what proportion of variance is shared by the two correlated variables:

a. r = 0.25

b. r = 0.33

c. r = 0.90

d. r = 0.14 

Q: For each coefficient of determination below, calculate the value of the correlation coefficient:

a. r2 = 0.54

b. r2 = 0.13

c. r2 = 0.29

d. r2 = 0.07 

Q: Suppose a researcher regressed surgical patients’ length of stay (dependent variable) in the hospital on a scale of functional ability measured 24 hours after surgery. Given the following, solve for the value of the intercept constant and write out the full regression equation:

Mean length of stay = 6.5days; mean score on scale = 33; slope = -0.10 

Q: Using the regression equation calculated in Exercise 3, compute the predicted value of Y (length of hospital stay) for patients with the following functional ability scores:

a. X = 42

b. X = 68

c. X = 23

d. X = 10 

Q: Use the regression equation below for predicting graduate GPA for the three presented cases.

Y′ = -1.636 + 0.793(undergrad GPA) + 0.004(GREverbal) – 0.0009(GREquant)

+0.009(Motivation)

Q: Using the following information for R2, k, and N, calculate the value of the F statistic for testing the overall regression equation and determine whether F is statistically significant at the 0.05 level: 

a. R2 = 0.13, k = 5, N = 120

b. R2 = 0.53, k = 5, N = 30

c. R2 = 0.28, k = 4, N = 64

d. R2 = 0.14, k = 4, N = 64
