In the least-squares
A) the point where the line crosses the Y axis
B) the combined effects of all independents on the dependent variable
C) the amount of change in Y for a unit change in one independent variable while controlling for all other independent variables
D) the residual effects of the independent after partialling out the effect of the dependent variable

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the least-squares regression, the coefficient for an independent variable represents the amount of change in the dependent variable for a unit change in that independent variable, while controlling for all other independent variables. Therefore, C is the correct choice. A represents the intercept of the regression line, B represents the overall impact of all independent variables, and D represents the residual effects of the independent variable after controlling for other variables.
