In regression the predictor is called the independentdepende

In regression, the predictor is called the independent/dependent variable, and the predict variable (or the criterion variable) is called the independent/dependent The predicted variable is represented by the letter X/Y and the predictor is represente by the letter X/Y.In the regression equation: the letter b represents the constant/coefficient and the a represents the constant7coefficientThe dependent variable can be predicted more accurately as the correlation between independent and dependent variables increases/decreases As the correlation between the predictor and the criterion variable increases, the standard error of estimate (S_E) increases decreases The predicted Y scores are expected to be on around the regression line The criterion is predicted more accurately when SE is larger/ smaller

Solution

9.8. In regression, the predictor is called the independent variable, and the predicted variable (or the criterion variable) is called the dependent.

9.9. The predicted variable is represented by the letter Y and the predictor is represented by the letter X.

9.10. In the regression equation, the letter b represents the coefficient and the letter a represents the constant. 9.11. The dependent variable can be predicted more accurately as the correlation between the independent and dependent variables increases.

9.12. As the correlation between the predictor and the criterion variable increases, the standard error of estimate (SE) decreases.

9.13. The predicted Y scores are expected to be around the regression line.

9.14. The criterion is predicted more accurately when SE is smaller.
