A)6.00
B)0.0018
C)0.011
D)9.26

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The error variance is typically denoted as σ² (sigma squared) and is calculated using the formula:
σ² = (SSerror)/df
where SSerror is the sum of squares of the residuals or errors and df is the degrees of freedom associated with the error term.

Unfortunately, the question does not provide us with any values for SSerror or df, so we cannot calculate σ² directly. However, we can eliminate choices A, C, and D because they all represent values that are too large or too small to be reasonable error variances.

Choice B, on the other hand, represents a value that is in a plausible range for error variance. Therefore, the best choice is B.
