A regression line is the line that best fits the data, but this does not mean that the fit is good. In other words, there can still be a lot of variability about the regression line. Which combination describes a regression line that is a good fit for the data? a. Larger-sq and small Se

b. Larger-sq and large Se

c. Small r-sq and small Se

d. Smallr-sq and large Se

The following combination describes a regression line that is a good fit for the data

a. Larger R-sq and small Se

Step-by-step explanation:

In regression analysis, we measure the goodness of fit in terms of two parameters.

1. R² ( R-squared or also called the coefficient of determination)

2. SE ( Standard Error)

1. R-squared

The R-squared indicates the relative measure of the percentage of the variance with respect to the dependent variable.

R-squared is measured in percentage so it doesn't have any unit.

The greater the R-squared percentage, the better is the goodness of fit.

2. Standard Error

The SE basically indicates that on average how far the data points are from the regression line.

The unit of the standard error is the same as the dependent variable.

The lower the SE, the better is the goodness of fit.

Therefore, the correct option is (a)

a. Larger R-sq and small Se

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).
