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 ( x1x _ { 1 } ), the cholesterol level ( x2x _ { 2 } ), and the number of points by which the individual's blood pressure exceeded the recommended value ( x3x _ { 3 } ). A random sample of 40 individuals was selected. The computer output of the multiple regression model is shown below: THE REGRESSION EQUATION IS y=y = 55.8+1.79x10.021x20.016x355.8 + 1.79 x _ { 1 } - 0.021 x _ { 2 } - 0.016 x _ { 3 } Predictor Coef StDev Constant 55.8 11.8 4.729 1.79 0.44 4.068 -0.021 0.011 -1.909 -0.016 0.014 -1.143 S = 9.47 R-Sq = 22.5%.

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. Excel output for a multiple linear regression is given below: Coffee sales revenue Temperature Pastries/biscuits 6.5 25 7 10 17 13 5.5 30 5 4.5 35 6 3.5 40 3 28 9 15 SUMMARV OUTPUT Regression Stotistics Multiple R 0.87 R Square 0.75 Adjusted R Square 0.59 Standard Error 5.95 Otservations 6.00 ANOVA Significonce df SS MS F F Regression 2.00 322.14 161.07 4.55 0.12 Residual 3.00 106.20 35.40 Total 5.00 428.33 Coefficients Standard Error tStot Pvolue Lower 95\% Upper 95\% Intercept 18.68 37.8 0.49 0.66 -101.88 139.24 Temperature -0.50 0.83 -0.60 0.59 -3.15 2.15 Patries/bisouits 0.49 2.02 0.24 0.82 -5.94 6.92 Comment on the difference between the coefficient of determination and the Adjusted coefficient of determination.

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 y=β0+β1x1+β2x2+β3x3+εy = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } x _ { 2 } + \beta _ { 3 } x _ { 3 } + \varepsilon . Where: y = number of hours of television watched last week. x1x _ { 1 } = age. x2x _ { 2 } = number of years of education. x3x _ { 3 } = income (in $1000s). The computer output is shown below. THE REGRESSION EQUATION IS y=y = 22.3+0.41x10.29x20.12x322.3 + 0.41 x _ { 1 } - 0.29 x _ { 2 } - 0.12 x _ { 3 } Predictor Coef StDev Constant 22.3 10.7 2.084 0.41 0.19 2.158 -0.29 0.13 -2.231 -0.12 0.03 -4.00 S = 4.51 R-Sq = 34.8%.
