Following is the multiple regression output with Y = % Passing as the dependent variable, X₁ = % Attendance, X₂= Salaries and X₃= Spending:

-Referring to Table 14-15, there is sufficient evidence that daily mean of the percentage of students attending class has an effect on percentage of students passing the proficiency test while holding constant the effect of all the other independent variables at a 5% level of significance.
