When we use linear regression to predict values, we input a given x value and we use the equation of the correlation line to predict the y values. Sometimes we want to know how spread out the y values are. We look at the difference between the predicted and the actual y values. These differences are called residual and they are either positive if the y value is more than the estimated y value or negative if it is less. So for example if the observed value is 10 and the predicted one is 15, the residual is 15-10=5. Now we can find the residual for each y value in our data set and square it. Then we can take the average of those squares. Last, we take the square root of the average of the squared residuals and this is the RMS or root mean square error.
The units are the same as the y values. If the RMS error is big, then the y values are not too close to the predicted ones on the y value and the our line does not provide as good of a model to predict values. If it is small, the y values are well predicted by the regression line.
For a horizontal line, the RMS error is the same as the standard deviation.
r is the regression coefficient and it measures how closely clustered the points are relative to the standard deviaton. The RMS error measures the spread in the original y units.

Find a whole number closest to a square root?
For smaller numbers, this is best done by trial and error.
How do you calculate of root 34?
The square root of 36 is 6, so the square root of 34 must be slightly smaller than 6. Using trial and error, 5.842 = 34.1056 and 5.832 = 33.989, so the square root of 34 is very slightly greater than 5.83. Trying 5.8312 yields 34.000561, therefore the square root of 34 can be rounded to 5.831.
What is the square root of 57547369?
The square root is not integral : about 7585.998 (round to 7586 - this square is 54547396, so this could be a transposition error).
What is the square root of 1255?
The square root of (1255) = 35.42 * * * * * Rounding error: 35.426 should be rounded to 35.43
How do you get the square root of 50?
Deductive reasoning. Trial and error. The square root of 49 is 7. The square root of 50 will be a little more than that. The answer is roughly 7.071
Is 0.2repeating greater than the square root of 8?
It is greater than the negative square root of 8, but smaller than the positive square root of 8.
Is the square root of 12 smaller that 4?
Yes.
How does sample size affect the size of your standard error?
The standard error should decrease as the sample size increases. For larger samples, the standard error is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size.The standard error should decrease as the sample size increases.

What is the square root of 16-63?
79
What are the effects of sample size on sampling error?
The sampling error is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size.
Is the square root of a number always bigger than its square root?
No, not always since: if a number is more than 1, then its square root is smaller than the number. if a number is less than 1, then its square root is bigger than the number.
Why is the standard error a smaller numerical value compared to the standard deviation?
Let sigma = standard deviation. Standard error (of the sample mean) = sigma / square root of (n), where n is the sample size. Since you are dividing the standard deviation by a positive number greater than 1, the standard error is always smaller than the standard deviation.
