Which one of the following statement is correct?
1. X represents the dependent variable
2. Y represents the independen variable
3. 55x = -25,429
4.55x = 41,147
5 The slope is bi = -1,257

Answer 1

In regression analysis, the dependent variable is denoted "Y" - option 1 is false

and the independent variables are denoted by "X"- option 2 is false

Using ti84 , linreg(ax+b), we get regression equation , ŷ = -2.51733X + 24.41867.

Hence options given are not correct.

answer: None of these
