Exam 13: Multiple Regression

The regression equation Salary = 45,000 + 1500 YearsExperience + 2800 YearsCollege describes employee salaries at Terminus Fissile Labs.The standard error is 2500.Lars has 15 years' experience and 4 years of college.His salary is $70,500.If this regression is valid,we conclude that
