In this least-squares regression equation, Y = a + b₁X₁ + b₂X₂, what represents the partial slopes? A) y and a B) the sum of b₁X₁ and b₂X₂ C) the xs D) the bs

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The partial slopes in a regression equation are represented by the coefficients b₁ and b₂, which indicate the change in Y for a one-unit change in X₁ or X₂, holding other variables constant.

In This Least-Squares Regression Equation, Y = a + B1X1

In This Least-Squares Regression Equation, Y = a + B₁X₁
