Perform a multiple linear regression? analysis, using caloriesas the dependent variable and percentage alcohol and number ofcarbohydrates as the independent variables.

Let

Upper X 1X1

represent alcohol percentage and let

Upper X 2X2

represent the number of carbohydrates.

ModifyingAbove Upper Y with caret equals nothing plus leftparenthesis nothing right parenthesis Upper X 1 plus leftparenthesis nothing right parenthesis Upper X 2

We will do this problem with the help of Excel.

Load the data into Excel.

Go to Data>Megastat.

Select the option Correlation/Regression and go to Regression.

Select percentage alcohol and number of carbohydrates? as the independent variable(s), x.

Select calories as the dependent variable, y.

Click OK.

The output will be as follows:

0.991
Adjusted R² 0.990 n   35
R   0.995 k   2

Carbohydrates 4.2690 0.1895 22.526 3.39E-21 3.8830 4.6550

Therefore, our regression equation is:

Calories = -0.1426 + 19.8187*Alcohol(%) + 4.2690*Carbohydrates

Or

y = -0.1426 + 19.8187*x1 + 4.2690*x2

where x1 = Alcohol(%)

x2 = Carbohydrates

Thus, the above output is the result of the multiple linear regression.
