   Question

   In the regression Y = b₀ + b₁X₁ + b₂X₂, what is the interpretation of b₂ ?

   
   
   1. FALSE: The linear relation between X₂and Y
   2. TRUE: The linear relation between X₂ and Y, given X₁
   3. FALSE: The linear relationship between X₂ and X₁, given Y
   4. FALSE: The variance of Y explained by X₂
   
   

   Solution

   The regression coefficients measure partial relationships between the Xs and the Y and unexplained variance. The measure of explained variance is the R²
