<prompt> Hlalosa mohopolo oa lipalo-palo ka mantsoe a batho ba tloaelehileng.Potoloho ea mela e mengata  <response>: Instruction in English: Explain a concept of statistics in laymans terms. . Response in English: Multiple linear regression is a method used in statistics to understand the relationship between a dependent variable and two or more independent variables. Heres an analogy to make it simpler: Imagine you are a chef, trying to perfect a recipe for a cake. The taste of the cake dependent variable is influenced by various ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs and butter independent variables. As a chef, you would try different amounts of these ingredients to see what combination makes the cake taste the best. In multiple linear regression, we do something similar - we measure the effect of each independent variable on the dependent variable and how changing these variables impacts the outcome. This is very useful when we want to predict the outcome of the dependent variable while considering multiple factors together. For example, a doctor may use multiple linear regression to predict the risk of heart disease, taking into account factors such as age, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and weight simultaneously. . Response in Sesotho: Multiple linear regression ke mokhoa o sebelisoang lipalo-palo ho utloisisa kamano pakeng tsa mefuta e itšetlehileng ka eona le mefuta e meli kapa ho feta e ikemetseng. Papiso ea ho e nolofatsa ke ena: Aku nahane u le chef, u leka ho lokisa risepe ea kuku. Tatso ea kuku e itšetlehileng ka mefuta e fapaneng e susumetsoa ke metsoako e fapaneng e kang phofo, tsoekere, mahe le botoro liphetoho tse ikemetseng. Joaloka sephehi, u ka leka mefuta e fapaneng ea metsoako ena ho bona hore na ke motsoako ofe o etsang hore kuku e be monate ka ho fetisisa. Ka makhetlo a mangata, re etsa ntho e tšoanang - re lekanya phello ea phetoho e ngoe le e ngoe e ikemetseng holima phapang e itšetlehileng ka eona le hore na ho fetola mefuta ena ho ama sephetho joang. Sena se na le thuso haholo ha re batla ho bolela esale pele sephetho sa phetoho e itšetlehileng ka eona ha re ntse re nahana ka lintlha tse ngata hammoho. Ka mohlala, ngaka e ka na ea sebelisa mekhoa e mengata ea ho khutlela morao ho bolela esale pele kotsi ea lefu la pelo, e nahanela lintlha tse kang lilemo, maemo a kholeseterole, khatello ea mali le boima ba mele ka nako e le ngoe.
