A multiple regression analysis between yearly income (Y in $1,000s), college grade point average (X1), age of the individuals (X2), and the gender of the individual (X3; zero representing female and one representing male) was performed on a sample of 10 people, and the following results were obtained.

Predictor	Coefficient	Std Error

X1	10.023	1.6512
X2	0.102	0.1225
X3	-4.4811	1.44
