Question 1

What does the slope (Ξ²1) of a linear regression line signify?

  • The value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is zero
  • The change in dependent variable for a one unit change in independent variable
  • The total prediction error

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how one variable affects another.

Question 2

True or False: The error term (Ο΅) must be zero in a perfectly accurate model.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember that all influences can't be captured.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a dataset with hours studied (X) and scores (Y), how would you determine if the linear model is appropriate? Outline the steps for model validation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about visually and statistically confirming linearity.

Question 2

Construct a scenario with two variables where a linear regression may be insufficient. Explain why.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on when the relationships might not be straight lines.
