They indicate the change in the predicted value for a unit change in one X when the other X variables are held constant. ii. A multiple regression equation defines the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables in the form of an equation.
iii. If an inverse relationship exists between the dependent variable and independent variables, the regression coefficients for the independent variables are positive.

• A) (i), (ii), and (iii) are all correct statements.
• B) (i) and (ii) are correct statements but not (iii).
• C) (i) and (iii) are correct statements but not (ii).
