Statement A is true, as b _Y represents the slope of the line of best fit for minimizing errors in predicting Y. Statement B is also true, as a _Y represents the Y-axis intercept of the line of best fit for minimizing errors in predicting Y. Statement C is true, as s _YIX represents the standard error of estimate for predicting Y given X. Statement E is false, as R ² represents the multiple correlation coefficient, not the coefficient of nondetermination. The coefficient of nondetermination is equal to 1 minus the coefficient of determination (R-squared).
