Explaining Multiple Regression

A professor collected data on 15 students' final grades, absences, and work hours to determine if grades could be predicted from those factors. Multiple linear regression was used to develop a model equation. The model was significant at the 10% level but explained only about 36% of the variation in grades. Number of absences significantly impacted grades while work hours did not.

Multiple Linear Regression


Case Problem:

A professor documented the number of absences during a semester, the average number of
hours of work, and the final grade for a sample of 15 students. The professor is interested in
knowing if the final grade can be predicted based upon the number of absences and the
number of hours of work. The data is shown below:

Final Grade (y) Number of Absences (x

) Number Hours Work(x
