Answer to Question 1

The standard error of the estimate is a measure which describes the dispersion of the data points above and below the regression line. The standard error may be used as a measure of how well the regression line fits the data. In addition, the standard error is used in calculating confidence intervals for the mean value of y given a specific value of x, and in calculating the prediction interval for an individual y observation.

Answer to Question 2

The standard error of the estimate will be zero only when every data point falls on the regression line, that is, when the sum of the squared residual terms is also zero.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
