6. In the simple linear regression model, the y-intercept represents the:
a. change in y per unit change in x.
b. change in x per unit change in y.
c. value of y when x=0.
d. value of x when y=0
7. In the simple linear regression model, the slope represents the:
a. value of y when x=0.
b. average change in y per unit change in x.
c. value of x when y=0.
d. average change in x per unit change in y.
8. In regression analysis, the residuals represent the:
a. difference between the actual y values and their predicted values.
b. difference between the actual x values and their predicted values.
c. square root of the slope of the regression line.
d. change in y per unit change in x.
9. The least squares method for determining the best fit minimizes:
a. total variation in the dependent variable
b. sum of squares for error
c. sum of squares for regression
d. All of these choices are true.
10. A regression analysis between sales (in $1000) and advertising (in $ 100 ) resulted in the following least squares line: y=75+6 x. This implies that if advertising is $ 800, then the predicted amount of sales (in dollars) is:
a. $ 4875
b. $ 123,000
c. $ 487,500
d. $ 12,300
