For data that produced a slope of .36 and an intercept of 5.23, which is the appropriate way to report the linear regression equation?
A) 5.23 = a + .36 (X)
B) Y' = 36 + 5.23 (X)
C) Y' = 5.23 + .36 (X)
D) Y' = 5.23 + b (.36)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The appropriate way to report the linear regression equation is in the form of Y = a + b(X), where a is the intercept and b is the slope. Therefore, option C is the correct way to report the linear regression equation as it presents the intercept (5.23) and slope (.36) in the correct order.
