Question

To determine the height of a person when his weight is given is:
A. Correlation problem
B. Regression problem
C. Association problem
D. None of these.

Answer 1

Hint: In this problem, the term which is related to the given statement ‘to determine the height of a person when his weight is given’. We can now find the relevant answer and explain it. We should know that To determine the height of a person when his weight is given, we can formulate it as a regression problem, we can now see it in brief.

Complete step by step answer:
Here we can find the relevant answer for the given statement,
To determine the height of a person when his weight is given.
We should know that by analysing the given problem,
To determine the height of a person when his weight is given, we can formulate it as a regression problem.
A regression analysis gives the relation between the variables.
We know that, a linear regression line has an equation of the form
$\Rightarrow Y=a+bX$
Where Y is called dependent variable or response, X is called independent variable or predictors or explanatory variable, a is the y-intercept and b is the slope of the line.

So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note: We should remember that when weight is given height can be formulated through a regression problem. A regression analysis gives the relation between the variables. We know that a linear regression line has an equation of the form $Y=a+bX$, where Y is called dependent variable or response, X is called independent variable or predictors or explanatory variable, a is the y-intercept and b is the slope of the line.
