Question
This image presents the output from a multiple regression analysis examining how the cost of car insurance is related to several variables: the number of car accidents in the last three years, the driver's credit score, and the safety rating of the car. The results are displayed in the following table:

**Coefficients Table:**

|                      | Coefficients | Standard Error | t Stat | P-value |
|----------------------|--------------|----------------|--------|---------|
| Intercept            | 933          | 95.65          | 9.754  | 0.0000  |
| Car Accidents        | 167.94       | 17.99          | 9.335  | 0.0000  |
| Credit Score         | -102.63      | 10.89          | -9.424 | 0.0000  |
| Safety Rating        | -199.18      | 19.98          | -9.969 | 0.0000  |

**Analysis:**

- **Intercept:** The intercept has a coefficient of 933, indicating the baseline cost of insurance when other variables are zero. The p-value suggests significant statistical relevance.
- **Car Accidents:** Each additional accident increases the insurance cost by 167.94. The t-stat and p-value signify strong significance.
- **Credit Score:** A higher credit score, by one unit, decreases the cost by 102.63. This coefficient's negative value has statistical significance.
- **Safety Rating:** A unit increase in safety rating reduces the cost by 199.18, demonstrating significant influence.

**Question:**

Does the sign of the coefficient for the variable credit score make sense?

**Answer Options:**

- Yes, because it is expected that as the credit score increases then the cost should decrease.
- No, because it is expected that as the credit score increases then the cost should decrease.
- Yes, because it is expected that as the credit score increases then the cost should also increase.
- No, because it is expected that as the credit score increases then the cost should also increase.
