B. the independent variable
C. the dependent variable
D. none of the above
The letter b1 is
A. a constant
B. the independent variable
C. the dependent variable
D. none of the above
The letter x is
A. a constant
B. the independent variable
C. the dependent variable
D. none of the above
The letter yy is
A. a constant
B. the independent variable
C. the dependent variable
D. none of the above
Explanation / Answer
1) General form of the regression equation is
y = b0 + b1x
Here y is dependent variable and x is the independent variable.
b0: - Intercept
b1: - slope.
So the correct option is D. y=b0+b1x
2) b0 is intercept and which is constant.
Because it has fixed value it is not variable.
So the correct option is A. a constant
3) The letter b1 is slope and which is also constant.
Because it has fixed value it is not variable.
So the correct option is A. a constant.
4) The letter x is exploratory variable. And which is independent variable.
So the correct option is B. the independent variable.
5) The letter y is response variable and which is the dependent variable.
By using the model we predict the value of y.
So the correct option is C. the dependent variable.
