    Question

    To examine whether a relationship exists between the variables x and y a regression analysis is performed. Before the analysis is performed, a number of assumptions for testing for regression coefficients are checked. First, the values of x and y are plotted on a graph. From the graph, it seems likely the assumption of regression violated which states


    1. TRUE: That the population standard deviation of y must be the same for all values of x.
    2. FALSE: That the population mean of y is linearly related to x.
    3. FALSE: That the population distribution of y is normally distributed for each x.

    1. That the population standard deviation of y must be the same for all values of x.: Correct
    2. That the population mean of y is linearly related to x.: Incorrect
    3. That the population distribution of y for each x is normally distributed…: Incorrect
