Suppose we are making predictions of the dependent variable y for specific values of the independent variable x using a simple linear regression model holding the confidence level constant. Let Width (C.I) = the width of the confidence interval for the average value y for a given value of x, and Width (P.I) = the width of the prediction interval for a single value y for a given value of x. Which of the following statements is true?
Width (C.I) = 0.5 Width (P.I)
Width (C.I) = Width (P.I)
Width (C.I) > Width (P.I)
Width (C.I) < Width (P.I)

- An article included a summary of findings regarding the use of SAT I scores, SAT II scores, and high school grade point average (GPA) to predict first-year college GPA. The article states that "among these, SAT II scores are the best predictor, explaining 17 percent of the variance in first-year college grades. GPA was second at 15.2 percent, and SAT I was last at 13.1 percent." If the data from this study were used to fit a least squares line with y = first-year college GPA and x = high school GPA, what would the value of r2 have been?
