Question

An Experiment to investigate the relation between two physical quantities was performed where 10 data pairs were collected. You are to perform regression analysis to describe the relation between the two quantities using a polynomial. What are the possible values for the order of that polynomial?

a) from 0 to 10
b) from 1 to 9
c) from 1 to 10
d) Any integer

Answer 1

d). Any Integer.

Explanation:

Regression analysis is characterized as the statistical method that is employed to determine the association between a dependent, as well as, the independent variable(one or more). It

As per the question, the probable values for the arrangement of a polynomial would be 'any integer' in order to determine the relationship among the different variables(the two physical quantities). Since a regression analysis helps in knowing the factors that influence the other and the factors that do not affect much in order to reach a reliable conclusion. Thus, any of the values can be examined to examine the association among them. Hence, option d is the correct answer.
