See 3.1. Objectives and Data Examples
"Typically, a regression analysis is used for following purposes:
● Prediction of the target or response variable,
● Modeling the relationship of association between predicting
variables and the response variable,
● Testing hypothesis."
Question 2 1..5 pts
[3.2. Basic Concepts] In multiple linear regression, we study the
relationship between a single response variable and several predicting
quantitative and/or qualitative variables.
Correct! True
False
See 3.2. Basic Concepts
"In multiple linear regression, the data consists of the response
variable and a series of predicting or explanatory variables. More
specifically, we observe "n" realizations of the response variable
along with the corresponding predicting variables."

[3.2. Basic Concepts] A multiple linear regression model contains 5
quantitative predicting variables and an intercept. The number of
parameters to estimate is 6.
True
Correct!
False
See 3.2. Basic Concepts
The model parameters are: 𝜷0, 𝜷1, … , 𝜷5, 𝜎 2
Thus 7.
Question 4 1..5 pts
[3.2. Basic Concepts] Given a qualitative predicting variable with 7
categories in a linear regression model with intercept, 7 dummy variables
need to be included in the model.
True
Correct!
False
