Standard Error Of Estimate

A measure of the accuracy of predictions made with a regression line, specifically, it estimates the standard deviation of the error term.

Coefficient Of Determination

A measure used in statistical analysis to assess the goodness of fit of a model, represented as the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s).

Pearson Correlation Coefficient

A measure of the linear correlation between two variables X and Y, giving a value between -1 and 1 which indicates the strength and direction of the correlation.

  • Ascertain and expound upon the standard error of estimate together with the standard error of the slope.
  • Master the concepts and calculation methods for the coefficient of determination.
  • Calculate and interpret the coefficient of correlation.

Final Answer :
2.436; The model's fit to these data is good.; 0.9223; 92.03% of the variation in income is explained by the variation in years of education.; 0.9604; It has a positive sign since the slope of the regression line ( = 2.9098) is positive.; 8.437; 2.447; Reject the null hypothesis; exists
