Question

Does mean centering a variable change the regression coefficient?

In a simple linear regression, the predicted score for independent variable is_______ when x is at its mean value?

Based on a negative slope in a regression analysis, we expect an increase in predicted y score when x... increases or decreases?

Based on a negative slope in a regression analysis, we expect an increase in predicted?

y hat = .9x + 1 interpret the slope

In a simple linear regression, if the correlation is positive, then the slope of regression line is?

If coefficient of determination is equal to 1, then the correlation coefficient is?

A least squares regression line can only be determined by?

In a simple linear regression analysis with one dependent y and one dependent x variable, if y intercept is positive then?

Explanation / Answer

A predictor that is centered at the meanhas new values–the entire scale has shifted, so that the mean now has a value of 0, but one unit is still one unit. The intercept will change, but the regression coefficient for that variable will not.

Hence it won't change
