The Golden Sheet

Slope

For each increase of 1 “unit” in “x”, the model predicts an (increase/decrease) of ________ “units” in “y”

y-intercept

The model predicts that at zero “units” of “x”, the “y” value will be _______ “units”.

Explain the association

There is a (weak/moderate/strong) (negative/positive) (linear/nonlinear) association between “x” and “y” for the “subjects in context”.

R² value

_________ % of the variation in “y” can be explained by the linear model for “x” and “y”.

Residual

For a “x” value of _________ “units”, the model (over/under)estimated the actual value of “y” by _______ “units”

Standard error of residuals (S_e)

_________ is the typical distance between the observed and predicted “y” values for the points in this regression.
