Multiple Choice

Find the indicated multiple regression equation. Below are performance and attitude ratings of employees. $$\begin{array} { | l | l l l l l l l l l l | } \hline \text { Performance } & 59 & 63 & 65 & 69 & 58 & 77 & 76 & 69 & 70 & 64 \\\hline \text { Attitude } & 72 & 67 & 78 & 82 & 75 & 87 & 92 & 83 & 87 & 78 \\\hline\end{array}$$ Managers also rate the same employees according to adaptability, and below are the results that correspond to those given above. $\begin{array}{lllllllllll}\text { Adaptability: } & 50 & 52 & 54 & 60 & 46 & 67 & 66 & 59 & 62 & 55\end{array}$
Find the multiple regression equation that expresses performance in terms of attitude and adaptability.

• A) \(\hat { P } = 14.09 + 0.213\) (Att.) \(+ 0.895\) (Adapt.)
• B) \(\hat { P } = 14.09 + 0.895\) (Att.) \(+ 0.213\) (Adapt.)
• C) \(\hat { P } = 14.09 + 0.014\) (Att.) \(+ 0.907\) (Adapt.)
• D) \(\hat { P } = 14.09 + 0.090\) (Att.) \(+ 0.014\) (Adapt.)
