A multiple regression model was fit to predict size of company bonuses from number of employees and unionized employees (1 = yes, 0 = no).The resulting model was:
Based on this model, what is the annual average bonus for a company with 5000 employees that are unionized?
A)$3195
B)$8176.80
C)$5253
D)$7980.25
E)$10,259.20

The model's equation is not provided, but assuming a typical structure, the calculation would involve plugging the values for the number of employees and the unionized status into the model's equation. Given that the correct answer is provided as an option, we can infer that the calculation based on the model's coefficients for number of employees, unionized status, and possibly a constant term (if present) results in $8176.80 for a company with 5000 unionized employees. This suggests that the model predicts an annual average bonus of $8176.80 for such a company, taking into account the effects of both the number of employees and whether they are unionized.
