| BB465 | Why is the error term excluded from the calculation? |
| pires100 | BB465 I believe that unless otherwise stated in the question you are to assume (per the assumptions of the Linear Regression Model) that the expected value of the error term is 0. |
| cminor | I definitely see a 6 on coefficient #2 not an 8 |
