Which of the following are true about a regression line? a. It passes through more sample points than any other line does. b. It passes through the center of the sample. c. It can be used to predict values of the responding variable only if the values of the explanatory variable are within a similar range. d. The distance between the line and the sample data is minimized. e. Its slope is the same as the correlation coefficient.

Which of the following statements is true? a. In a simple linear regression model, if the regression slope coefficient is negative, then the standard error of the estimate will be positive. b. All of these. c. In a simple linear regression model, the regression slope coefficient will have the same sign as the correlation coefficient. d. The independent variable is not useful in predicting the response variable, if the slope of the line of means equals 0.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the least-squares regression line?
