Question

In a multiple regression, the following sample regression equation is obtained: y-hat= 161 + 12.4x1 +2.6x2 a. Predict y if x1 equals 20 and x2 equals 42. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) y-hat b. Interpret the slope coefficient of x1 As x1 increases by one unit, y is predicted to decrease by 12.4 units, holding x2 constant. O As x1 O As x1 by one unit, y is predicted to increase by 2.6 units, holding x2 constant. by one unit, y is predicted to decrease by 2.6 units, holding x2 constant. As x1 increases by one unit, y is predicted to increase by 12.4 units, holding x2 constant.

Explanation / Answer

a) Given x1 = 20 and x2= 42
Y-hat= 161 + 12.4x1 + 2.6x2
= 161 + 12.4(20) + 2.6(42) = 518.2

Answer: 518.2

b) Correct Answer: option (D)As x1 increase by one unit, y is predicted to increase by 12.4 units, holding x2 constant

since Slope of X1 = 12.4 which is positive.
