- Develop an estimated multiple regression equation that relates risk of a stroke to a person's age, systolic blood pressure and whether the person is a smoker. x1=persons age x2systrolic blood pressure x3=whether person is a smoker or non smokerarrow_forwardA financial website reported the beta value for a certain company was 0.86. Betas for individual stocks are determined by simple linear regression. The dependent variable is the total return for the stock, and the independent variable is the total return for the stock market, such as the return of a market index. The slope of this regression equation is referred to as the stock's beta. Many financial analysts prefer to measure the risk of a stock by computing the stock's beta value. Suppose the following data show the monthly percentage returns for the market index and the company for a recent year. Month Market Index% Return Company% Return August -3 4 September 8 7 October 0 1 November -2 1 December -5 0 January 0 0 February 7 7 March 0 -2 April 2 0 May -5 -1 a.
