When predicting from a three-factor, multiple R, the value of b indicates
A) the first intercept
B) the criterion variables
C) the first predictor variable
D) how much change in Y will occur for a given change in the first predictor,

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The value of b in a multiple regression equation indicates how much change in the criterion variable (Y) will occur for a given unit change in the corresponding predictor variable, holding all other predictors constant. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the role of b in a multiple regression equation.
