Which of the following statements about linear regression is least accurate?
A)
The independent variable is uncorrelated with the residuals (or disturbance term).
B)
R2 = RSS / SST.
C)
The correlation coefficient, ρ, of two assets x and y = (covariancex,y) × standard deviationx × standard deviationy.
The correlation coefficient, ρ, of two assets x and y = (covariancex,y) divided by (standard deviationx × standard deviationy). The other statements are true. For the examination, memorize the assumptions underlying linear regression!
Suppose the covariance between Y and X is 12, the variance of Y is 25, and the variance of X is 36. What is the correlation coefficient (r), between Y and X?
