Question

Thompson Photo Works purchased several new, highly sophisticated processing machines. The production department needed some guidance with respect to qualifications needed by an operator. Is age a factor? Is the length of service as an operator (in years) important? In order to explore further the factors needed to estimate performance on the new processing machines, four variables were listed:

x₁ = Length of time an employee was in the industry

x₂ = Mechanical aptitude test score

x₃ = Prior on-the-job rating

x₄ = Age

Performance on the new machine is designated y.

Thirty employees were selected at random. Data were collected for each, and their performances on the new machines were recorded. A few results are:

	Performance on New Machine,	Length of Time in Industry,	Mechanical Aptitude Score,	Prior On-the-Job Performance,	Age,
Name	y	x₁	x₂	x₃	x₄
Mike Miraglia	112		12		329	122	31
Sue Trythall	117		10		387	119	23

The equation is:

yˆ y⁢^⁢ = 11.8 + 0.3x₁ + 0.986x₂ + 0.812x₃ + 0.004x₄

What is this equation called?

Multiple regression equation
Multiple standard error of estimate
Coefficient of determination

How many dependent and independent variables are there?

What is the number 0.986 called?

Regression coefficient
Coefficient of determination
Homoscedasticity
Multicollinearity

As age increases by one year, how much does estimated performance on the new machine increase? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
