Solution Summary

A step by step explanation of all the statistical parameters of a simple linear regression analysis based on the least square estimate.

Solution Preview

Let's first see what the ordinary least squared regression line is all about. The regression line determines a linear equation that best fits the values of x (predictor) and y (dependent).
In our case this line is 2.232 - 0.153x = y.
So what is the interpretation of this line?
2.232 (the constant) is called the y intercept and it's the value of y when the value of x is zero. i.e. it is the number of children when there is no RS Higher Degree.
-0.153 (the slope or gradient) is the rate of change of y with respect to a unit change in x. In ...
