A local parent group was concerned with the increasing cost of school for families with school aged children.The parent group was interested in understanding the relationship between the academic grade level for the child and the total costs spent per child per academic year.They performed a multiple regression analysis using total cost as the dependent variable and academic year (x1)as the independent variables.The multiple regression analysis produced the following tables. Coefficients Stardard Error t Statistic p -value Intercept 707.9144 435.1183 1.626947 0.114567 2.903307 81.62802 0.035568 0.971871 11.91297 3.806211 3.129878 0.003967 F p -value Regression 2 32055153 16027577 47.34557 1.49-09 Residual 27 9140128 338523.3 Total 41195281 These results indicate that ____________.
