PART I
M ULTIPLE REGRESSION M ODEL
The population regression model of a dependent variable on a set of independent
variables
,
, ,
is given by
=
+
+
+ +
+
where
is t he int ercept of t he regression surface and each
, = 1, , is t he slope
of the regression surface – sometimes called the response surface – with respect t o variable
.
M odel Assum ptions:
1. For each observat ion, the error term is normally distributed wit h m ean zero and st andard
deviation and is independent of the error t erms associated wit h all ot her observat ions.
That is,
~
(
0,
)
for all = 1, 2,…,
independent of ot her errors.
2. In t he context of regression analysis, t he variables
are considered fix quant it ies, although
in t he cont ext of correlational analysis, t hey are random variab les. In any case,

are fixed quant it ies, we are

and t hat the only random ness in com es

PART IV
TESTS OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF INDIVIDUAL REGRESSION PARAM ETERS
A test for t he significance of an individual parameters is important because it tells us
not only w hether there is evidence t hat variable
(
= 1,…,
)
has a linear
relationship with Y but also whet her there is stat istical evidence that variable
has
explanatory power with respect to the dependent variable .

Since t he test stat ist ic value is to o large
(
F
= 56.7
)
, w e can strongly reject at all H
level of significance. It means that based on the ANOVA t able for regression model
and t he hypot hesis test ing, we have enough evidence to pr ove that t here is a

TESTS OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF INDIVIDUAL REGRESSION PARAM ETERS
A test for t he significance of an individual parameters is important because it tells us
not only whether there is evidence that variable  ( = 1, …, ) has a linear
relationship w it h Y but also whet her there is st at istical evidence t hat variable
 has
explanat ory power wit h respect to the dependent variable
