In the regression equation, what does the letter b represent? The Y-intercept The slope of the line Any value of the independent variable that is selected The value of Y when X = 0

In a linear equation y = a + bx (select all that apply to complete the sentence): x represents an independent variable. y represents a dependent variable. Observed data values that are far from the least squares line are termed (complete the sentence): outliers. According to a study, a regression equation to estimate weight (kg, y) of elk from chest girth (cm, x) is y = -136 + 2.81x. In this regression equation, the independent variable is: Chest girth (in cm). The slope of the regression line tells us how, on average, the dependent variable changes for every one unit increase in the independent variable. The graph which shows the association between two numerical variables is called a scatter plot.
