For both measures, smaller values indicate higher quality. The following computer output gives the results from predicting ERA by using WHIP in a least-squares regression for the 2017 baseball season. Variable DF Estimate SE T Intercept 1 -5.0 0.26 - 19.3 WHIP 1 6.8 0.14 47.4 Which of the following statements is the best interpretation of the value 6.8 shown in the output? ERA is predicted to increase by 6.8 units for each 1 unit increase of WHIP. WHIP is predicted to increase by 6.8 units for each 1 unit increase of ERA. For a pitcher with 0 units of WHIP, the ERA is predicted to be approximately 6.8 units. For a pitcher with 0 units of ERA, the WHIP is predicted to be approximately 6.8 units. Approximately 6.8% of the variability in ERA is due to its linear relationship with WHIP.arrow_forward
