In a certain statistics class the past data has indicated that there is a positive, linear relationship between a student\'s midterm exam score and their subsequent final exam score. The LSR model for this relationship is given by:

final score = 42 + 0.58*(midterm score)

From the choices below, the best interpretation of the intercept is:

A) A student who scored a 0 on the midterm is expected to score a 42 on the final

B)If the final exam score is a 0, the expected midterm score would be -72

C) For every additional 1-point increase in a student\'s final exam score, the corresponding midterm score increases by 0.58 points

D)A student who scored a 0 on the final is expected to score a 42 on the midterm

E)For every additional 1-point increase in a student\'s midterm score, the corresponding final exam score increases by 0.58 points

F)If the final exam score is a 0, the expected midterm score would be 72

Solution

intercept is 42, and the correct interpretation is option (A)
