For data that yielded an intercept of 3.66 and a slope of .15, what would be the appropriate linear regression equation?
A) 3.66 = a + .15 (X)
B) 3.66 = a + b (.15)
C) Y' = 3.66 + b (.15)
D) Y' = 3.66 + .15 (X)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The appropriate linear regression equation is in the form Y = a + bX, where Y is the dependent variable, X is the independent variable, a is the intercept, and b is the slope. Therefore, the correct equation would be Y = 3.66 + 0.15X, which is represented by choice D.
