31
Coefficient Interpretation
Solution

Slope (b1)
» Sales Volume (Y) Is Expected to Increase
by .7 Units for Each $1 Increase in
Advertising (X)

Y-Intercept (a)
» Average Value of Sales Volume (Y) Is
-.10 Units When Advertising (X) Is 0
– Difficult to Explain to Marketing Manager
– Expect Some Sales Without Advertising
32
Interpretation of Coefficients

Slope (b1)
» Estimated Y Changes by b1 for Each 1
Unit Increase in X
– If b1 = 2, then Sales (Y) Is Expected to
Increase by 2 for Each 1 Unit Increase in
Advertising (X)

Y-Intercept (a)
» Average Value of Y When X = 0
– If a = 4, then Average Sales (Y) Is Expected
to Be 4 When Advertising (X) Is 0

Rule of Thumb for Interpreting
the Standard Error of Estimate
Regression line + 1(std. error): about
68% of the data points are expected to
fall in this interval
 Regression line + 2(std. error): about
95% of the data points are expected to
fall in this interval
 Regression line + 3(std. error): about
99.7% of the data points are expected to
fall in this interval


Normality
 Y Values Are Normally Distributed For Each X
 e is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of Zero
[ E(e ) = 0 ]

Homoscedasticity (Constant Variance)
 Standard deviation of the e values is the same regardless of the
given value of X
 Variance of e is same for all values of X.

Independence of Errors
 The residuals ( e ) are independent of each other
 The size of the error for a paarticular value of x is not related to the
size of the error for any other value of x
Each of these distributions:
1. Is normal
2. Has the standard deviation, estimated by syx
