Real Estate Builder
A real estate builder wishes to determine how house size is influenced by family income, family size, and education of the head of household.House size is measured in hundreds of square feet, income is measured in thousands of dollars, and education is measured in years.A partial computer output is shown below.
SUMMARY OUTPUT
ANOVA
-{Real Estate Builder Narrative} Which of the following values for the level of significance is the smallest for which the regression model as a whole is significant: = .00005, .001, .01, and .05?

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.
THE REGRESSION EQUATION IS
y = 55.8 + 1.79x1 - 0.021x2 -0.061x3
ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE
-{Life Expectancy Narrative} What is the coefficient of determination? What does this statistic tell you?

Student's Final Grade
A statistics professor investigated some of the factors that affect an individual student's final grade in her course.She proposed the multiple regression model
, where y is the final grade (out of 100 points), x1 is the number of lectures skipped, x2 is the number of late assignments, and x3 is the midterm exam score (out of 100).The professor recorded the data for 50 randomly selected students.The computer output is shown below.

ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE
-{Student's Final Grade Narrative} Does this data provide enough evidence to conclude at the 5% significance level that the model is useful in predicting the final grade?
