Regression estimation

Suppose we want to estimate the yield in tomatoes for a plot. Our outcome is the number (Y) of tomatoes in the plot. Early in the season, a worker counted all the tomatoes (X) ripening (green) on each plant. We know there are 1000 plants and to = 25000 green tomatoes counted. Suppose also that we find in our sample of n=100 plants the average number of green tomatoes counted earlier was XS = 20. Which of the following statements is true if we assume a positive correlation between counts for green and ripe tomatoes? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a We expect a regression estimate of the total to make an upward adjustment. b We expect the regression estimate of the total to make a downward adjustment. C We need to know what the average was for the count of ripe tomatoes to answer this question. d None of the above are correct
