6- A measure of linear association that investigates straight-line relationships


between a continuous dependent variable and an independent variable that is
usually continuous, but can be a categorical dummy variable.
a) Simple (Bivariate) Linear Regression
b) Standardized Regression Coefficient (β)

b) (Y = α + βX )
c) (X= α + βX )
d) (X = α + βY )

8- The estimated coefficient indicating the strength of relationship between an independent


and dependent variables expressed on a standardized scale where higher absolute values
indicate stronger relationships.
a) Simple (Bivariate) Linear Regression
b) Standardized Regression Coefficient (β)
c) F-test (regression)
d) Ordinary Least-Squares (OLS)

9- Standardized regression estimates should be used when the researcher is testing

by the regression.
a) OLS
b) F-test
c) Raw regression estimates (b1)
d) Coefficient of Determination (R2)

12- Formula for Raw regression estimates (b1) is:
