-Refer to Exhibit 13-6. The interpretation of the coefficient of X1 is that

• A) a one unit change in X1 will lead to a 3.682 unit decrease in Y
• B) a one unit increase in X1 will lead to a 3.682 unit decrease in Y when all other variables are held constant
• C) a one unit increase in X1 will lead to a 3.682 unit decrease in X2 when all other variables are held constant
• D) It is impossible to interpret the coefficient.
