question 26

Multiple Choice

It has been hypothesized that overall academic success for freshmen at college as measured by grade point average (GPA) is a function of IQ scores (X₁) , hours spent studying each week (X₂) , and one's high school average (X₃) . Suppose the regression equation is: Y' = -6.9 + 0.055X₁ + 0.107X₂ + 0.0083X₃.
The multiple standard error is 6.313 and R²= 0.826. Assuming other independent variables are held constant, what effect on the GPA will there be if the numbers of hours spent studying per week increases from 32 to 36?

• A) 3.1446
• B) -0.824
• C) +0.428
• D) -0.428
• E) +0.824
