Use the following multiple regression equation:
Y = 50 - 2X1 + 3X2
Interpret the meaning of the slopes:
a. For each one-unit increase in X2, Y will decrease by an estimated 2 units, holding X1 constant.
b. For each one-unit increase in X1, Y will increase by an estimated 3 units, holding X2 constant.
Interpret the meaning of the Y intercept:
The Y-intercept of 50 estimates the value of Y when both X1 and X2 are 0.
