1) The Operation and Support Phase of a program is where the parametric estimation technique
is most commonly performed.

True
False
2) You are estimating the fuel consumption (gallons per mile) for intermediate armored
vehicles based on the horsepower of the vehicle. The vehicle for which you are estimating has
4.77 hundred horsepower. Given the following equation, select the correct response from each
pair.
Fuel Consumption = - 0.0494 + 0.22 (Horsepower in hundreds)
10165957 6
The dependent variable is Horsepower
The dependent variable is Fuel Consumption
The y-intercept is 0.22
The y-intercept is - 0.0494
The estimated fuel consumption for your vehicle is 1.10 gallons per mile
The estimated fuel consumption for your vehicle is 1.00 gallons per mile
3) As compared to analogy, parametrics can be more objective, relying on the preponderance
of the data to support a conclusion rather than relying extensively on the subjectivity of an
expert to make comparisons.
10164071 2
True
False
4) Statistical programs like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets and Apple Numbers are used to fit
power curves to data sets by transforming the data. Transformation is achieved by taking the
natural log of both the __________________ and the ___________________.

5) You have been asked to solve for the Coefficient of Determination (R2). The Sum of
Squared Regression (SSR) is .020 and Sum of Squared Total (SST) is .025, what is the
Coefficient of Determination (R2) and what does that mean?

The R2 is 0.20 and 20% of the variation in cost can be explained by the data.
The R2 is 0.20 and 80% of the variation in cost can be explained by the data.
The R2 is 0.80 and 20% of the variation in cost can be explained by the data.
The R2 is 0.80 and 80% of the variation in cost can be explained by the data.

7) Given the following information, determine the equation for the unit formulation. (Round
intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places)
[Table Description: Table listing Unit Number (X) and Unit Cost ($Y). Unit 1 = $1100.00, Unit
2 = $900.00, Unit 3 =$800.32, Unit 4=$736.36]
