    Question

    In a regression analysis, you can express the effect of X on Y in the ‘normal’ (unstandardized) b-coefficient and in the standardized b-coefficient (‘Beta’).

    What is the best description of the meaning of the standardized b-coefficient (‘Beta’)?

    The standardized b-coefficient (‘Beta’) indicates…


    1. TRUE: How much the value of Y changes, expressed in standard deviations of Y, when X increases by one standard deviation.
    2. FALSE: What is the mean value of Y, when X has the value 0.
    3. FALSE: How much the value of Y changes, when X increases by one, while the inverse influence of Y on X is held constant.
    4. FALSE: How much the value of Y changes, expressed on a scale running from 0 to 1, when X increases from 0 to 1.
