Consider a multiple regression model that examines the impact of several independent variables on a dependent variable. The model is specified as follows: $$Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1X_1 + \beta_2X_2 + \beta_3X_3 + \epsilon$$ Where: $$Y$$ is the outcome variable $$X_1$$, $$X_2$$, and $$X_3$$ are predictor variables $$\beta_0$$ is the intercept $$\beta_1$$, $$\beta_2$$, and $$\beta_3$$ are the coefficients for each predictor $$\epsilon$$ is the error term When analyzing this regression, you discover that the correlation coefficients between the independent variables are relatively high, indicating multicollinearity. Which of the following statements best describes the implications of multicollinearity for the regression analysis?

Consider a multiple regression model that examines the impact of several independent variables on a dependent variable. The model is specified as follows:

$$Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1X_1 + \beta_2X_2 + \beta_3X_3 + \epsilon$$

Where:

$$Y$$ is the outcome variable
$$X_1$$, $$X_2$$, and $$X_3$$ are predictor variables
$$\beta_0$$ is the intercept
$$\beta_1$$, $$\beta_2$$, and $$\beta_3$$ are the coefficients for each predictor
$$\epsilon$$ is the error term

When analyzing this regression, you discover that the correlation coefficients between the independent variables are relatively high, indicating multicollinearity. Which of the following statements best describes the implications of multicollinearity for the regression analysis?

Multicollinearity increases the variability of the coefficient estimates, making them less reliable.

Multicollinearity ensures that the coefficient estimates are unbiased.

Multicollinearity will lead to a model that explains less variance in the dependent variable.
