Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Slowchip Computer Company is using a multiple regression approach because they are considering scores from more than one predictor (a cognitive ability test and a motivation test) to predict job performance and make hiring decisions. Multiple regression allows for the combination of scores from different tests to predict an outcome more accurately than using a single test score.
