Question

If you were to construct a egression equation using the X variable to predict the Y variable for each of the three sets of data, for which set of data would the regression equation have the most negative slope? If you were to compute a correlation between the X and Y variables for each of the three sets of data, which set of data would yield a correlation closest to zero? If you were to construct a regression equation using the X variable to predict the Y variable for each of the three sets of data, for which set of data would the regression equation have the largest, positive slope?

Explanation / Answer

a) Graph C , here slope is negative

b) Graph A , slope is of low value ,observe that angle made by x- axis will be low

c) Graph B , it has largest positiva slope
