x1 is the number of architects employed by the company.
x2 is the number of engineers employed by the company.
x3 is the number of years involved with health care projects.
x4 is the number of states in which the firm operates.
x5 is the percent of the firmâs work that is health careârelated.

Required:
a. Write out the regression equation.
b. How large is the sample? How many independent variables are there?

y = 0.237x1 - 1.162x2 - 0.130x3 * 0.538x4 - 0.038x5 + 7.267

5 independent variables

Sample size = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows the ouorit of a multiple regression

The regression equation from the table is given by :

Coefficient = 7.267 = intercept

Predictor variables are : x1, x2, x3, x4, x5

x1 = 0.237

x2 = 1.162

x3 = 0.130

x4 = 0.538

x5 = 0.038

General form of multiple regression equation :

y = m1x1 + m2x2... + c

x1, x2,.. Are independent variables

m1, m2 = slope values of

Hence, we have ;

y = 0.237x1 - 1.162x2 - 0.130x3 * 0.538x4 - 0.038x5 + 7.267

The sample size

The number of independent variables :

x1 is the number of architects employed by the company.

x2 is the number of engineers employed by the company.

x3 is the number of years involved with health care projects.

x4 is the number of states in which the firm operates.

x5 is the percent of the firmâs work that is health careârelated.

x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 = 5 independent variables

DF Regression = k - 1

5 = k - 1 ; k = 5 +1 = 6

N - k = 42

N - 6 = 42

N = 42 + 6 = 48

Samole size = 48

50=33x+22

step-by-step explanation:

because 1.2 isnt half of 6 duh
