Question 4

An economist wanted to develop a multiple regression model to enable him to predict the annual family expenditure on clothes. After some consideration, he developed the multiple regression model: $y = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } x _ { 2 } + \beta _ { 3 } x _ { 3 } + \varepsilon$ .
Where:
y = annual family clothes expenditure (in $1000s) $x _ { 1 }$ = annual household income (in $1000s) $x _ { 2 }$ = number of family members $x _ { 3 }$ = number of children under 10 years of age
