The LS regression equation of overseas and U.S. returns on
common stocks for the period 2010-12018 is Y = 4.777 +
0.813X, and the regression R2 =
0.324
- Find the correlation coefficient between the two
variables.
- In 2019, the return on U.S. stocks was 10.1%. Use the
regression equation to predict the 2019 return on overseas
stocks.
- In 2019, the actual return on overseas stocks was 33.1%. What
is the prediction error?
- Give an interpretation of the
R2.
