X3 coefficient
X4 coefficient
(c) If x2 = 8, X3 = 6, and x4 = 4, what is the predicted value for x1? (Use 1 decimal place.)
(d) Explain how each coefficient can be thought of as a "slope" under certain conditions.
O If we look at all coefficients together, each one can be thought of as a "slope."
If we hold all explanatory variables as fixed constants, the intercept can be thought of as a "slope."
O If we look at all coefficients together, the sum of them can be thought of as the overall "slope" of the regression line.
O If we hold all other explanatory variables as fixed constants, then we can look at one coefficient as a "slope."
Suppose x3 and x4 were held at fixed but arbitrary values and x, increased by 1 unit. What would be the corresponding change in x,?
Suppose x2 increased by 2 units. What would be the expected change in x,?
Suppose x2 decreased by 4 units. What would be the expected change in x1?
(e) Suppose that n = 18 data points were used to construct the given regression equation and that the standard error for the coefficient of x2 is 0.321. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the coefficient of xɔ. (Use 2 decimal places.)
