In simple linear regression, the prediction interval for a future response (Y) is always narrower than the confidence interval for the true mean response (?Y) for the same x value. True False

Step 1
We fit a line to the data points to make predictions for future values of Y given new values of X. A confidence interval for the true mean response (μY) is an interval estimate of the average value of Y for a given value of X. It gives us an idea of how accurate Show more…

True or False. For a given $x$, a confidence interval for $E(y)$ will always be wider than a prediction interval for $y$.
A prediction interval is narrower than a confidence interval when both have the same confidence level. True False
