Expert Solution
Step 1

Let us consider a simple linear regression.

The equation of a simple linear regression model is:

yi=β0+β1xi+εi

Here, yi is the dependent variable 

β0 is the intercept 

β1 is the slope

xi is the independent variable

εi is the error term

The error terms are normally distributed with mean 0 and variance σ2.

yi is distributed with mean β0+β1xi and variance σ2.
