The slope 1 of the population regression line describes a. The exact increase in height (cm)

Question:

The slope β1 of the population regression line describes

a. The exact increase in height (cm) for students at this high school when foot length increases by 1 cm.

b. The average increase in foot length (cm) for students at this high school when height increases by 1 cm.

c. The average increase in height (cm) for students at this high school when foot length increases by 1 cm.

d. The average increase in foot length (cm) for students in the sample when height increases by 1 cm.

e. The average increase in height (cm) for students in the sample when foot length increases by 1 cm.


To see if students with longer feet tend to be taller, a random sample of 25 students was selected from a large high school. For each student, x = foot length (cm) and y = height (cm) were recorded. We checked that the conditions for inference about the slope of the population regression line are met. Here is a portion of the computer output from a least-squares regression analysis using these data:

Predictor Coef SE Coef P Constant 91.9766 10.2204 8.999 0.000 Foot length 3.0867 0.4117 7.498 0.000 S= 6.47044 R-Sq = 72.8% R-Sq(adj)= 71.5%
