Introduction
In this paper I have described the association between one dependent variable and two
independent ones.The dependent variable I chose to be the profit/loss of the P&G
company,during a period of time of 10 years.The two independent variables are:the expenses
and the cost of goods sold by the company.
In order to predict the relationship between the variables, I have chosen the SPSS software to
analyse the simple and multiple regression methods,and for the chi-squared the Eviews
software.

Because the slope is tending to +2,it means that there is a stong intensity positive
correlation.It means that we have an elastic relationship.R squared is 0,72,meaning that 72%
out of the profit/loss variation is due to the expenses,holding constant the other factor of
influence.In the anova table,we have the statisticly significant finding p value less than
0.05(0.001),which means that there is no risk to wrongly reject H0(the value of the profit/loss
does not depend on the value of the expenses).It means that the regression model is
significant.The two variables have a positive association,because as Expenses increase,so
does the profit.This is a linear relationship.Because Beta=0,86,it means that if expenses get
bigger with 1 million of US dollars,the profit/loss increases with 0,86 millions in one year.
