Multiple Choice

TABLE 14-5
A microeconomist wants to determine how corporate sales are influenced by capital and wage spending by companies. She proceeds to randomly select 26 large corporations and record information in millions of dollars. The Microsoft Excel output below shows results of this multiple regression.
$$\begin{array}{l}\text { Regression Statistics }\\\begin{array} { l r } \hline \text { Multiple R } & 0.830 \\\text { R Square } & 0.689 \\\text { Adjusted R Square } & 0.662 \\\text { Standard Error } & 17501.643 \\\text { Observations } & 26\end{array}\end{array}$$
