Exhibit 13-6
Below you are given a partial computer output based on a sample of 16 observations.
$\begin{array}{lcc} & \text { Coefficient } & \text { Standard Error } \\\text { Intercept } & 12.924&4.425\\\mathrm{X}_{1} & -3.682&2.63. \\\mathrm{X}_{2} &45.216&12.560\\\end{array}$
$\text { Analysis of Variance }$

$\begin{array}{lccc}\text { Source of } & \text { Degrees } &\text { Sum of } &\text { Mean }\\\text { Variation } & \text { of Freedom }&\text { Squares } & \text { Square }&F\\\text { Regression }&&4,853&2,426.5\\\text {Error }&&&485.3\end{array}$
-Refer to Exhibit 13-6. The estimated regression equation is

• A) Y = ?? + ??X1 + ?2X2 + ?
• B) EY) = ?? + ??X1 + ?2X2
• C) =12.924 - 3.682X1 + 45.216X2
• D) =4.425+2.63X1+12.56X2
