Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation E(y) = f(x1, x2, ...) represents a multiple regression equation, where E(y) is the expected value of the dependent variable y, based on the values of the independent variables x1, x2, etc. This equation can be either linear or nonlinear, depending on the form of the function f. However, since the problem statement does not provide information about the form of f, we cannot determine whether the equation is linear or nonlinear. Therefore, option D, a multiple regression equation, is the best choice.
