Chapter 10, Problem 10.18MCQ
In regression analysis, the coefficient of determination:
- a. Is used to determine the proportion of the total variation in the dependent variable (y) explained by the independent variable (X).
- b. Ranges between negative one and positive one.
- c. Is used to determine the expected value of the net income based on the regression line.
- d. Becomes smaller as the fit of the regression line improves.

In a regression analysis, the variable that is being predicted is the
a. Intervening variable
O b. Dependent variable
С.
None
O d. Independent variable
The regression line in a scatterplot is also known as a(n):
A. R-squared line.
B. high-low line.
C. outcome variable.
D. linear trendline.
The regression analysis is normally depicted as "y = Ax+ B." What does "A" indicate in the equation?
A) It is the expected change in the independent variable for a one-unit change in the dependent variable
OB) It is the significance level for the test
OC) It is the expected change in the dependent variable for a one-unit change in the independent variable
OD) The confidence interval
