Let the predictor variable x represent heights of males and let response variable y represent weights of males. A sample of 145 heights and weights results in se=16.52178 cm. In your ownwords, describe what that value of se represents.

Choose the correct answer below.

A.

The value of se is the standard deviation of e, which is a measure of the differences in standard deviations for the two samples.

B.

The value of se is the standard error of theestimate, which is a measure of the differences in standard deviations for the two samples.

C.

The value of se is the standard error of theestimate, which is a measure of the differences between the observed weights and the weights predicted from the regression equation.

D.

The value of se is the standard deviation of e, which is a measure of the differences between the observed weights and the weights predicted from the regression equation.
