B)in linear regression the line tells us by how much y is predicted to change as a result of a change in x.

D)in linear regression the line of best fit maximises the distance between the scores and the regression line.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In linear regression, the line of best fit is determined by minimizing the distance between the observed data points and the regression line, not maximizing it. This is typically achieved through methods like least squares, which aim to minimize the sum of the squared differences between the observed values and the values predicted by the model.
