Question

A study is conducted in patients with HIV. The primary outcome is CD4 cell count, which is the measure of the stage of the disease. A regression analysis is performed relating CD4 count to the duration of HIV in years. The computer output appears below:

The fitted regression line is:

A) Y = 136.72 29.34X

B) Y = 511.91 308.7X

C) Y = 511.91 30.87X

D) Y = -30.87 + 511.91X

Explanation / Answer

from above as intercept is 511.91 and duration (slope) is -30.87

hence C) Y = 511.91 30.87X is regression line equation

option C is correct
