The following linear regression model was run based on data for 500 production employees in an industry.

Earn= alpha + betaSCH+ y test 1 + o test 2

Earn = Annual salary in US $000’s SCH= number of years of formal education, test 1 and test 2 are scores on test of two dimension of intelligence that were administered by a psychologist. The computer output for the model is presented below in Table 3
