11.2 Understanding the Fitted Regression Line. The fitted
regression equation for a multiple regression is
ŷ = - 10.8 + 3.2*x1 + 2.8*x2
- If x1 = 4 and x2 = 2, what is the
predicted value of y?
- For the answer to part (a) to be valid, is it necessary that
the values x1 = 4 and x2 = 2 correspond to a
case in the data set? Explain why or why not?
- If you hold x1 at a fixed value, what is the effect
of an increase of three units of x2 on the predicted
value of y?
