The estimated regression equation for a model involving two independent variables and 10 observations is as follows: 31.7986 + 0.6369x1 + 0.3374x2.
Interpretation of b1: When x1 increases by one unit, the dependent variable (y) changes by 0.6369 units, while keeping x2 constant.
Interpretation of b2: When x2 increases by one unit, the dependent variable (y) changes by 0.3374 units, while keeping x1 constant.
b. To estimate y when x1 = 180 and x2 = 310, we substitute these values into the regression equation and solve for y (to 3 decimals).
