question 43

True/False

The following MINITAB output presents a multiple regression equation $y = b _ { 0 } + b _ { 1 } x _ { 1 } + b _ { 2 } x _ { 2 } + b _ { 3 } x _ { 3 }$ $+ b _ { 4 } x _ { 4 }$ .
The regression equation is
$$\mathrm { Y } = 3.9695 + 1.4577 \mathrm { X } 1 - 1.7859 \mathrm { X } 2 + 0.7686 \mathrm { X } 3 + 0.0777 \mathrm { X } 4$$
