Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The least-squares multiple regression equation with two independent variables can be written as: Y = a + b1X1 + b2X2 where Y is the dependent variable, X1 and X2 are the independent variables, a is the intercept, and b1 and b2 are the coefficients of X1 and X2, respectively. Thus, option D is the closest equation to this form, with b1 and b2 represented as ₁X₁ and ₂X₂, respectively.
