Question Hi, I have a problem on my homework that says
a) For X=40 show by calculation that the parallel lines are indeed two standard deviations above and below the regression line by using the appropriate statisics
what would be appropriate statistics for this question?
I know the standard deviations of x and y, the means of x and y, residual sum squares, regression sum squares, r, r squared, df, mean square, F, intercept, slope, std error of slop, standardized slope, and t
please tell me you can help
Answer You may use the standard error of parameters (intercept and slopes) of the regression line to get two lines that are two standard deviations above and below the regression line. Then you may judge whether the parallel lines are indeed the two lines you just get.
