In multiple regression, the following regression equation is obtained: y = -8 + 2.6x – 47.2w Predict y if x = 30 and w = -10 3. As a car salesperson, you must predict the selling price of your used cars. You calculate a regression line with the dependent variable being the price and the independent variable being the mileage of the vehicle. You use a statistical software package that reports that your SSE is 22 and your SST is 40. What is your coefficient of determination? What could you do to improve your regression equation?.
