A newscaster read a study comparing the amount of time spent
cleaning and weight of the homeowner. The study reported a
correlation of –0.87. She then reported on the evening news that the
more time you spend cleaning your house the skinner you will get.
Which of the following is true?

relationship between the two variables.
B. She is correct since –0.87 shows a strong relationship between the
variables.
C. The study must be incorrect because the correlation should be
positive.
D. She is incorrect because she is confusing association with
causation.

A high school football coach claims the average weight of his players
is 230 lbs. You suspect he may be wrong, and take a sample of 18
players and get a mean weight of 228 lbs. with a standard deviation of

 = 0.05?
A. Since our p-value is less than 0.05, we would reject the coach’s
claim.
B. Since our p-value is less than 0.05, we would not reject the coach’s
claim.
C. Since our p-value is greater than 0.05, we would reject the coach’s
claim.

And now, the Final
Jeopardy! answer…
Linear Regression
Suppose you run a linear regression for
a data set and get r = 0.92. You then
graph the residuals vs. the x-variable.
The plot is shown on the right. What
would be an appropriate interpretation
of the residual plot?
A. Since the plot has a distinct curve to it, and since r = 0.92, the
linear model is a good fit.
B. Since the plot has a distinct curve to it, and since r = 0.92, the
linear model is not a good fit.
C. The shape of the residual plot doesn’t matter; since r = 0.92, the
linear model is the best one.
D. Since the plot has a distinct curve, the linear model is not the best
model for the data, even though r = 0.92.
