Explanation / Answer

Sol1:

D. gives a relationship between two variables that can be described by a line.

2. In a regression model, the slope represents the

y=change in y/change inx

B. change in y due to a one unit change in x

3.

y=a+bx

a is y inetrcept

b is slope

SOlution4:

y inetrcxept =100 where y cuts y axis

C. point where the line intersects the y-axis.

Solution5:

. In the equation y = 100 - 5x , -5 is the

A. change in y due to a one-unit change in x

Solution6:

B error term

SOlution7:

Answer D:

estimates of the population parameters, A and B.
