- You run a regression of homework grades on hours spent studying, and get the following regression equation: Grade = 94 – 6.2 * Hours_Spent_Studying + error What is your takeaway from this regression? Group of answer choices a) Studying is bad, and causes worse grades. b) Students don’t know how to study very well. c) A few outliers are skewing the results. d) Students who are less confident study more, but still do worse. There is an omitted variable skewing the results.arrow_forwardDescribe a hypothetical study for which multiple regression with more than two predictor variables would be an appropriate analysis.

Data were collected, which included height of the child ( height), height of the mother ( mothersheight ), and height of the father (fathersheight ). The initial analysis used the heights of the parents to predict the height of the child (all units are inches). The results of the analysis, a multiple regression, are presented below. . regress height mothersheight fathersheight Source Model Residual Total height mothersheight fathersheight _cons SS 208.008457 314.295372 522.303829 df 2 104.004228 8.49446952 37 MS 39 13.3924059 Coef.

- After interviewing salespersons at Harley Davidson dealerships, a researcher has created a linear regression line to explain the relationship between a Harley Davidson motorcycle's age (x) and price (y). The regression has an R² = 87.7%. Write a sentence summarizing what R² says about this regression. The age of the motorcycle explains 12.3% of the variation in price. The age of the motorcycle explains 9.36% of the variation in price. The age of the motorcycle explains 87.7% of the variation in price. The price of the motorcycle explains 12.3% of the variation in age. The price of the motorcycle explains 87.7% of the variation in age.arrow_forwardPls help ASAP.
