A change in the unit of measurement of the dependent variable in a model does not lead to a change in:
A)the standard error of the regression.
B)the sum of squared residuals of the regression.
C)the goodness-of-fit of the regression.
D)the confidence intervals of the regression.

Changing the unit of measurement of the dependent variable affects the scale of the data, which in turn affects the standard error of the regression, the sum of squared residuals, and the confidence intervals of the regression coefficients. However, it does not affect the goodness-of-fit of the regression, such as the R-squared value, because these are relative measures that compare the explained variance to the total variance, independent of the scale of the data.
