III. k + 1 is the number of regression parameters.
IV. If k > 1, adjusted R2 ≤ R2.

johans you would expect if it is N-k-1 instead of N-k that adjusted R^2 < R^2 if k = 1 ...
solnce Both an intercept and slope coeffiecients are regression parameters.
katybo or also "regression coefficients"
bmeisner I have to agree with johans, given the equation, adjusted R^2 ought to be <= R^2 even if k=1. This is because the fraction (n-1)/(n-k-1) is just (n-1)/(n-2) which gives a number less than 1.
annwwar (n-1)/(n-2) > 1 for n>2
weiw Why III is wrong. K is the number of independent variables and K+1 should be the regression parameters, am I right?
ericczhang Yeah I count the constant as a regression parameter so k+1 should be the number of parameters. I think this is just a case giving them the answer that they think it's right.

I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
