In linear regression, which of the following is the correct formula for the coefficient of determination ($R^2$)?
In linear regression, which of the following is the correct formula for the coefficient of determination ($R^2$)?
- $R^2 = \frac{SS_{reg}}{SS_{tot}}$
- $R^2 = 1 - \frac{SS_{reg}}{SS_{tot}}$
- $R^2 = 1 - \frac{SS_{reg}}{n-1}$
- $R^2 = 1 - \frac{SS_{res}}{SS_{tot}}$ (correct)
When conducting hypothesis testing, the p-value is:
When conducting hypothesis testing, the p-value is:
- The probability of correctly accepting the null hypothesis
- The probability of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis
- The probability of observing a test statistic exactly at the one actually observed
- The probability of observing a test statistic as extreme as, or more extreme than, the one actually observed, assuming that the null hypothesis is true (correct)
In probability theory, the complement rule states that:
In probability theory, the complement rule states that:
- The probability of the intersection of two independent events is equal to the product of their individual probabilities
- The probability of the complement of an event is equal to 1 minus the probability of the event (correct)
- The probability of the intersection of two events is equal to the sum of their individual probabilities minus the probability of their union
- The probability of the union of two events is equal to the sum of their individual probabilities
