TABLE 14-16
the Superintendent of a School District Wanted to Predict

question 110

Short Answer

TABLE 14-16
The superintendent of a school district wanted to predict the percentage of students passing a sixth-grade proficiency test. She obtained the data on percentage of students passing the proficiency test (% Passing), daily average of the percentage of students attending class (% Attendance), average teacher salary in dollars (Salaries), and instructional spending per pupil in dollars (Spending) of 47 schools in the state.
Following is the multiple regression output with Y = % Passing as the dependent variable, X₁ = % Attendance, X₂ = Salaries and
X₃ = Spending:
$\begin{array}{lr}\hline\text {Regression Statistics } \\\hline \text {Multiple R }& 0.7930 \\\text {R Square} & 0.6288 \\\text {Adjusted R Square} & 0.6029 \\\text {Standard Error }& 10.4570 \\\text {Observations }& 47 \\\hline\end{array}$
