Which of the following is specific to the correlation coefficient?
- It can have a value of zero (0) thru one (1)
- It can have a value between -1 and +1.

The following scatter plot was created for two characteristics of a sample of automobiles, weight and miles per gallon. After looking at the graph, what can you conclude about the relationship between the two characteristics?
- The correlation coefficient is approximately +1.
- The correlation coefficient is approximately -1.
- The correlation coefficient is approximately 0.
- One can’t estimate the correlation coefficient from the graph.
- If there is no correlation between a dependent variable (Y) and an independent variable (X), can one predict Y knowing X? What is the best guess for Y?
- Define multiple linear regression.

1. You are a public health official interested in screening for diabetes in your state’s population. You have recently learned of a newly developed test that produced positive results in 138 of 190 known diabetics and in 24 of 150 persons known not to have diabetes.- What is the sensitivity of the new test?
- What is the specificity of the new test?
- What is the false-positive rate of the new test?
- Suppose this test is applied to a population where the estimated prevalence of disease is 10%. Calculate the positive and negative predictive values of the test.
