Question

As a student, you want to know why some of your classmates miss more class than others. You wonder if students with more dependents (children or others who live with you and require your care) tend to miss more classes. You collect data on a random sample of n = 102 NSC students (taking the same number of credit hours) using a survey that asks them how many classes they missed last semester and how many children they have living with them. Based on the data, you compute the correlation coefficient and regression equation below. You also find that both are statistically significant (alpha = .05). Correlation: r = .70 Regression Equation: = .90X + .30 Explain what the .90 (i.e., b) tells you in the regression equation above. Make sure your answer is specific to the scenario, not a generic definition." 21008203,In the half plane model the point P = (0

Explanation / Answer

A regression coefficient is used to interpret rate of change of a conditional mean of the response variable.

Here, 0.90 tells us that the rate of change in missing classes with respect to the number of students a student stays with is 0.90.
