# Multiple regression question

$H_0: B_0=B_1=B_2=B_3 ... =0$
$H_1: \text{ at least one is not equal to zero}$

I am doing a research project and I am lost trying to figure out this problem. I have negative coefficient, I have dependent variable and 5 independent variables, due to the dependent variable data being from different years and on other ind. var as well I had to standardize the data.

My $R^2$ is very low and the adjusted $R^2$ as well.

The coefficients are negative, I do not know how to interpret this information.

When I standardized all the data dep. and ind. variables this made the majority negative, and because of negative I have negative Betas, and I don't now know what to do with negative betas.

sorry this is my first time doing such a project.

I have attached a print screen of the problem

• Dear whuber, thank you for the prompt respond, I have updated the questions. It is my first time and I am having to interpret the results. especially having negative (betas) and I should reject the H0 because my p value is <.05 right? – Säb Jun 14 '17 at 9:18
• what prompted you to standardize the data? please give a few details of data and objective of research. – Subhash C. Davar Jun 14 '17 at 13:15
• Are you interested in hypothesis testing or merely sign of regression coefficients ? – Subhash C. Davar Jun 14 '17 at 16:37
