question 111

Short Answer

SCENARIO 17-3 A financial analyst wanted to examine the relationship between salary (in $\$ 1,000$ ) and 4 variables: age $\left( X _ { 1 } = \mathrm { Age } \right)$ , experience in the field $\left( X _ { 2 } = \right.$ Exper $)$ , number of degrees $\left( X _ { 3 } = \right.$ Degrees $)$ , and number of previous jobs in the field ( $X _ { 4 } =$ Prevjobs). He took a sample of 20 employees and obtained the following Microsoft Excel output:
