Which equation represents the simple linear regression model in the given text?

$E(TestScore | STR) = b_0 + b_{STR} \cdot STR + u$

$E(TestScore | STR) = b_0 + b_{STR} \cdot STR$ (correct)

$E(TestScore | STR) = b_0 + b_{STR} \cdot STR + \epsilon$

$E(TestScore | STR) = b_0 + b_{STR} \cdot STR + e$

Which term represents the slope of the straight line in the simple linear regression model?

$STR$

$TestScore$

$b_{STR}$ (correct)

$b_0$

What does the conditional mean operator indicate in the context of the simple linear regression model?

The relationship is expected to hold for all values of STR.

The relationship is expected to hold, on average, given the values of STR. (correct)

The relationship is expected to hold, on average, regardless of the values of STR.

The relationship is expected to hold, on average, for a specific value of STR.
