Question

true or false 

  1. H)  If the sum of squared error terms is the same for two lines that are fit through the same scatter plot of data, then the two lines must be identical.

  2. I)  If one data point from a population has a z-score of 2.7, then this data point must be larger than the population mean.

  3. J)  A population standard deviation cannot be negative.

Expert Solution
Step 1

(1). Check whether the given statement is true or false:

The given statement is: If the sum of squared error terms is the same for two lines that are fit through the same scatterplot of data, then the two lines must be identical.

The two lines are plotted on the same scatterplot and their sum of squared error terms are equal, that means both the lines must be identical, as the error term is the difference of actual value and the predicted value.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
