Question

Page 8 of Homework 6 Correlation and Regression 8.-/2 points A researcher wants to predict body mass index (BMI) using minutes exercised per week. Both of the variables are continuous variables. The researcher wants to predict BMI using the length of time of exercise. Which of the following methods is your best choice for answering the above research question? 0 A simple linear regression. O Two independent sample t-test Logistic regression O Multiple or multivariate linear regression. O Cox proportional hazards regression. 9. -/2 points

Explanation / Answer

As, we have to predict one variable (BMI) based on other variable (length of time of exercise), we have to use regression for the problem.

As, both variables in question are continuous variables, so we cannot use logistic regression.

As, there is only one predictor variable (length of time of exercise), this is a simple linear regression.

So, the correct option is a simple linear regression.
