Using the figures in the table above, the following regression equation was obtained. Y = 0.668 + (-0.016) X1 + (0.185) X2 + (0.224) X3 + (0.118) X4 + (0.270) X5 Interpretation 1. A constant value of 0.668 indicates that if there is no independent variable (Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, Empathy, and Tangible), the dependent variable (customer satisfaction) is positive. 2. X1 regression coefficient = -0.016 means that if the service of dimensions X1 has decreased; the level of customer…
