  1. For Suppose a commercial developer is considering purchasing a group of small office buildings in an established business district. The developer can use multiple linear regression analysis to estimate the value of an office building in each area based on the following variables.

y = Assessed value of the office building

x1 = Floor space in square feet

x2 = Number of offices

x3= Number of entrances

x4 = Age of the office building in years
