Expert Solution

A smaller p value indicates that a variable is significant. In the above table, we can see that there are 2 independent variables that have p-value less than 0.05 and are thus significant.

So, there are two variables with Non Zero Regression Coefficient, viz. Financial Hardship and GSE.

All the other dependent variables, viz. Gender, Age, Months Unemployed, Wage at Last Job, Social Support and JSSE, are insignificant predictors at the 95% level as reflected in the above table.

Using only the significant predictors:

Thus, the new regression equation is;:

Y = 18.906 - .155*(Financial Hardship) + .76*(GSE)

The following table gives information about the multiple standard error and the coefficient of determination.

The multiple standard error when using only the two significant variables is 4.9907.

The coefficient of determination is a measure of how good fit is the model for the data and is given by R square. Here, the value is 0.535 indicating a moderate fit.
