Regression equation is

2.

In multiple regression, the following regression equation is obtained:

y = -8 + 2.6x - 47.2w

Predict y if x = 30 and w = -10

3. As a car salesperson, you must predict the selling price of your used cars. You calculate a regression line with the dependent variable being the price and the independent variable being the mileage of the vehicle. You use a statistical software package that reports that your SSE is 22 and your SST is 40.

What is your coefficient of determination?

What could you do to improve your regression equation?
