Question
If a constant 20 is subtracted from each of the value of X and Y, the regression coefficient of Y on X is:
Explanation
Regression coefficient bxy = covariance XY divided by variance X. Adding or subtracting constant shifts origin but leaves deviations unchanged. Covariance and variance remain identical, so slope remains invariant. Only intercept changes while correlation and regression coefficient stay constant.
