In the equation y =  +  + u,  is the _____.
A)dependent variable 
B)independent variable 
C)slope parameter 
D)intercept parameter

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is no clear independent or dependent variable in this equation since both terms containing "11eb6b8a_02cd_e9df_bf83_0b5ba7bcba79_TB8272_11" and "11eb6b8a_02cd_e9e0_bf83_011628831c8e_TB8272_11" could be considered as either independent or dependent variables depending on the context of the problem.

Furthermore, there is no slope parameter in this equation since there is no variable being multiplied by a coefficient.

The only parameter present in the equation is the intercept parameter, represented by the constant "u". Therefore, the best choice is D.
