Question

You are given two possible regression lines for a dataset. Line A has a sum of squared residuals of 12, and Line B has a sum of squared residuals of 8. Which line should you choose and why?

Accepted Answer

Line B, because it has a lower sum of squared residuals, indicating a better fit.

Answer

Neither line, as the sum of squared residuals is not relevant.

Answer

Either line, since both are regression lines.

Answer

Line A, because it has a higher sum of squared residuals.
