1. Significance level of the variables,
2. Correlationship of the Variables
3. Hypothesis Test was done
4. Normality Test was also conducted
Y = β0+ B1X1+ B2X2+ B2X3+ B4X4 + e
Y = Dependent Variable
β0 = Constant (coefficient of intercept)
X1 = Independent Variable
B1,B2,B2,B4
X2 =
X3 =
e = error term
