Multiple Choice

Use computer software to find the best multiple regression equation to explain the variation in the dependent variable, Y, in terms of the independent variables, $\mathrm { X } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { X } _ { 2 } , \mathrm { X } _ { 3 }$
-

• A) \(\hat { \mathrm { Y } } = 1.25 - 1.55 \mathrm { X } _ { 1 } + 5.79 \mathrm { X } _ { 2 }\)
• B) \(\hat { \mathrm { Y } } = 1.38 - 5.53 \mathrm { X } _ { 1 } + 1.33 \mathrm { X } _ { 2 }\)
• C) \(\hat { \mathrm { Y } } = - 0.49 + 14.07 \mathrm { X } _ { 1 }\)
• D) \(\hat { \mathrm { Y } } = 0.42 + 0.99 \mathrm { X } _ { 2 }\)
