Assumptions:
- Data are collected randomly.
- A linear relationship between dependent variable y and explanatory variable x in the population.
- The population values of y at each value of x follow a normal distribution with the same standard deviation at each x value.
In this case, the third assumption is the least critical because the estimates from the regression models have bell-shaped sampling distributions when the sample size is large according to the central limit theorem.
