Short Answer

Instruction 13-15
A financial analyst wanted to examine the relationship between salary (in $1,000)and 4 variables: age (X₁ = Age),experience in the field (X₂ = Exper),number of degrees (X₃ = Degrees),and number of previous jobs in the field (X₄ = Prevjobs).He took a sample of 20 employees and obtained the following Microsoft Excel output:
