A study of the top 75 MBA programs attempted to predict the average starting salary (in $1000’s) of graduates of the program based on the amount of tuition (in $1000’s) charged by the program. The results of a simple linear regression analysis are shown below:
Least Squares Linear Regression of Salary

Variables Coefficient Std Error T P
Constant 18.1849 10.3336 1.76 0.0826
Size 1.47494 0.14017 10.52 0.0000
R-Squared 0.6027 Resid. Mean Square (MSE) 532.986
Adjusted R-Squared 0.5972 Standard Deviation 23.0865
Interpret the estimated slope of the regression line.
◦ For every $1000 increase in the tuition charged by the MBA program, we estimate that the average starting salary will increase by $1474.94.
◦ For every $1474.94 increase in the tuition charged by the MBA program, we estimate that the average starting salary will increase by $18,184.90.
◦ For every $1000 increase in the average starting salary, we estimate that the tuition charged by the MBA program will increase by $1474.94.
◦ For every $1000 increase in the tuition charged by the MBA program, we estimate that the average starting salary will decrease by $1474.94.
