Question

the computer output given here is the result of a stepwise multiple regression analysis to predict a dependent variable by using six predictor variables. The number of observations was 108. Study the output and discuss the results. How many predictors ended up in the model ? which predictors, if any, did not enter the model?

THE ANSWERS 4 predictors ,x4 and x5 are not in model.

explain how we get the answer above if there is any culculation please do   Do not use Excel for solving or other program

Explanation / Answer

in the final output we see

x3 , x1 , x2 and x6

hence total 4 variables

initially there were 6 variables x1,x2,..x6

out of which 4 are in model (x3 , x1 , x2 and x6 )

hence x4 and x5 are not in model
