Given below is the Excel output for predicting starting salary (Y) using number of hours spent studying per day (X) for a sample of 51 students. NOTE: Only partial output is shown.


Note: 2.051 E - 05 = 2.051*1^0-5 and 5.944 E -18 = 5.944 *10 ^-18 .

A)may be negative.
B)is always positive.
C)is always negative.
