**Linear Regression Analysis Exercise**

Use the following linear regression equation to answer the questions:

\[ x_1 = 1.2 + 3.6x_2 - 7.6x_3 + 2.5x_4 \]

(a) **Identify Variables**

1. Which variable is the response variable?
   - ○ \( x_1 \)
   - ○ \( x_4 \)
   - ○ \( x_2 \)
   - ○ \( x_3 \)

2. Which variables are the explanatory variables? (Select all that apply.)
   - □ \( x_1 \)
   - □ \( x_4 \)
   - □ \( x_2 \)
   - □ \( x_3 \)

(b) **Constant and Coefficients**

1. Which number is the constant term? List the coefficients with their corresponding explanatory variables.
   - constant: [ ]
   - \( x_2 \) coefficient: [ ]
   - \( x_3 \) coefficient: [ ]
   - \( x_4 \) coefficient: [ ]

(c) **Prediction Equation**

1. If \( x_2 = 8 \), \( x_3 = 6 \), and \( x_4 = 4 \), what is the predicted value for \( x_1 \)? (Use 1 decimal place.)
   - [ ]

(d) **Understanding Coefficients**

1. Explain how each coefficient can be thought of as a "slope" under certain conditions.
   - ○ If we look at all coefficients together, each one can be thought of as a "slope."
   - ○ If we hold all explanatory variables as fixed constants, the intercept can be thought of as a "slope."
   - ○ If we look at all coefficients together, the sum of them can be thought of as the overall "slope" of the regression line.
   - ○ If we hold all other explanatory variables as fixed constants, then we can look at one coefficient as a "slope."

(e) **Changes in Variables**

1. Suppose \( x_3 \) and \( x_4 \) were held at fixed but arbitrary values and \( x_2 \) increased by 1 unit. What would be the corresponding change in \( x_1 \)?
   - [ ]

2. Suppose \( x_2 \) increased by 2 units. What would be the
