Question

Infant Length(cm)y Age(days) times 1 Birth Length(cm) times 2 Birth Weight(kg) times 3 Birth Chest Size(cm) times 4 Use these data for Questions on this task. The dependent variable y is infant length at a specified number of days after birth (x1). Use Statcrunch to find the multiple regression equation using all four predictors. Find the multiple regression equation with three predictors that has the highest R-squared. Give the equation and both R-squared and adjusted R-squared. Find the multiple regression equation with two predictors that has the highest R^2.

Explanation / Answer

Statcrunch is not available but I can give you answer using Minitab: Hope it will be helpful to you :-)
