CUET-PG 2023 Shift 1 Question 26: Linear regression and OLS

Given below are two statements: Statement I: In the simple linear regression model with an intercept, the regression slope when multiplied by the explanatory variable X will give the predicted Y. Statement II: In the simple linear regression model, the regression slope indicates by how many units Y increases, given a one-unit increase in X. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
