In a simple regression analysis (where y is a dependent and x an independent variable), if the slope is positive, then it must b
e true that _____. a. there is no correlation between x and y
b. there is a negative correlation between x and y
c. there is a positive correlation between x and y
d. the y-intercept is 0
c. there is a positive correlation in-between x and y
Step-by-step explanation:
A regression line is a line that suggests that all the points in a scatter diagram lie on or near one particular line. In a simple regression analysis in which y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable. If the slope is positive, the bivariate data is also said to have a positive correlation. The positive correlation in-between two variables x and y implies that in general, an increase in x goes hand in hand with an increase in y.
