question 70

Short Answer

It has been hypothesized that overall academic success for freshmen at college as measured by grade point average (GPA) is a function of IQ scores (X1), hours spent studying each week (X2), and one's high school average (X3). Suppose the regression equation is:

Y' = -6.9 + 0.055X1 + 0.107X2 + 0.0083X3.
The multiple standard error is 6.313 and R² = 0.826.
