A statistician wanted to determine whether the demographic variables of age, education and income influence the number of hours of television watched per week. A random sample of 25 adults was selected to estimate the multiple regression model .
Where:
y = number of hours of television watched last week. = age. = number of years of education. = income (in $1000s).
The computer output is shown below.

Pop-up coffee vendors have been popular in the city of Adelaide in 2013. A vendor is interested in knowing how temperature (in degrees Celsius) and number of different pastries and biscuits offered to customers impacts daily hot coffee sales revenue (in $00's).
A random sample of 6 days was taken, with the daily hot coffee sales revenue and the corresponding temperature and number of different pastries and biscuits offered on that day, noted.
Describe the following scatterplots.
Scatterplot of Daily hot coffee sales revenue vs Temperature
Scatterplot of Daily hot coffee sales revenue Pastries/biscuits
Residual scatterplot of Daily hot coffee sales revenue vs fitted values

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 ( ), the cholesterol level ( ), and the number of points by which the individual's blood pressure exceeded the recommended value ( ). A random sample of 40 individuals was selected. The computer output of the multiple regression model is shown below:
