   Question

   A researcher conducts a multiple regression to determine which factors influencing how much a person watches television (Y). The data used comes from the European Social Survey from 2014. The questionnaire was administered to a random sample of the population of the Netherlands aged 18 years and older (N=1362). The extent to which someone watches television was measured with a question where the response options ranged from 1 (“less than half an hour a day”) to 7 (“more than three hours a day”). Education (Educyrs) was measured in number of years of education completed; scores on this variable range from 0 years to 28 years. The researcher obtains the following results.
