Develop a multiple linear regression model & compare
Develop a multiple linear regression model.
A sample of twenty automobiles was taken, and the miles per gallon (MPG), horsepower and total weight were recorded. Develop a linear regression model to predict MPG using horsepower as the only independent variable. Develop another model with weight as the independent variable. Which of these two models is better? Explain.

See Excel file attached. Each regression is a separate tab.
The multiple regression explains more of the variance than either simple regression using ...
Solution Summary
Your tutorial created three regressions, one simple regression using horsepower, one simple regression using weight and a multiple regression with both horsepower and weight to predict miles per gallon (MPG). The solution is in Excel and used the regression function in data analysis.
