# The equation is
“score=16.17402+12.36620colgpa+0.88335actmth+0.05176acteng #The
coeffiecent of colgpa is 12.36620. It means if colgpa increases by one
unit, the score increases by 12.36620. #The coeffiecent of actmth is
0.88335. It means if actmth increases by one unit, the score increases
by 0.88335. #The coeffiecent of acteng is 0.05176. It means if acteng
increases by one unit, the score increases by 0.05176. #If you look at
the Pr values, colgpa and actmth are significant variables. Because the
va;ues are smaller than 0.05.
