Answers Graded A+
bivariate linear regression analysis - Correct answer-the simplest linear regression
procedure
bivariate regression - Correct answer-a procedure which allows us to move from
descriptions to explanations and predictions
linear regression - Correct answer-model explores the predictive relationship for
only two variables
bivariate regression - Correct answer-focuses on explaining or predicting one of
the variables on the basis of information on the other variable
regression model - Correct answer-examines changes in one variable as a function
of changes of differences in values of the other variable
dependent variable - Correct answer-the variable whose variation we want to
explain or predict. easily identifiable. variable of primary interest. the one we want
to explain or predict.

, independent variable - Correct answer-the variable used to predict systematic
changes in the dependent variable
regression - Correct answer-aims to determine how, and to what extent, the
dependent variable varies as a function of changes in the predictor variable
points to conceptualize in bivariate - Correct answer-1. data must e collected on
two variables.
2. the dependent and independent variables should be quantitative
3. the dependent variable is Y and independent variable is X
general mathematical equation - Correct answer-defines a straight line (best fitting
straight line) that may be fitted to the data points in a scatter diagram
