Life Expectancy
An actuary wanted to develop a model to predict how long individuals will live.After consulting a number of physicians,she collected the age at death (y),the average number of hours of exercise per week (x1),the cholesterol level (x2),and the number of points that the individual's blood pressure exceeded the recommended value (x3).A random sample of 40 individuals was selected.The computer output of the multiple regression model is shown below.

Senior Medical Students
A professor of Anatomy wanted to develop a multiple regression model to predict the students' grades in her fourth-year medical course.She decides that the two most important factors are the student's grade point average in the first three years and the student's major.She proposes the model y = 0 + 1x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 + ,where y = Fourth-year medical course final score (out of 100),x1 = G.P.A.in first three years (range from 0 to 12),x2 = 1 if student's major is medicine and 0 if not,and x3 = 1 if student's major is biology and 0 if not.The computer output is shown below.
