Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standardized regression coefficient is commonly referred to as the beta weight. Choice A is incorrect because alpha typically refers to the level of significance in hypothesis testing. Choice B is incorrect because it is not a commonly used term in regression analysis. Choice D is incorrect because slope refers to the change in the dependent variable associated with a one-unit increase in the independent variable, whereas the standardized regression coefficient is a measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between the variables.
