coefficients:
negative coefficient shows that as the
independent variable (Xn) changes, the
variable (Y) changes in the opposite direction
positive coefficient shows that as the
independent variable (Xn) changes, the
dependent variable (Y) changes in the same
direction
magnitude of regression coefficients is a
