In a simple regression analysis of y on x, the standard error of estimate of y on x, \(S_{yx}\) = 5, number of observations N is 30, and \(\sum y^{2}\) = 2000. The unexplained variance is

  • A.1500
  • B.750
  • C.500
  • D.250

Answer: B

The unexplained variation is the standard error of estimate squared multiplied by the number of observations.

\[ \sum (y - \hat{y})^2 = N \, S_{yx}^2 \]

\[ = 30 \times 25 = 750 \]

So the unexplained variance is 750, option B. The explained part is the remainder of the 2000.
