Exhibit 16-4
In a laboratory experiment, data were gathered on the life span (y in months) of 33 rats, units of daily protein intake (x1), and whether or not agent x2 (a proposed life extending agent) was added to the rats diet (x2 = 0 if agent x2 was not added, and x2 = 1 if agent was added.) From the results of the experiment, the following regression model was developed.
= 36 + 0.8x1 - 1.7x2
Also provided are SSR = 60 and SST = 180.

A researcher is trying to decide whether or not to add another variable to his model. He has estimated the following model from a sample of 28 observations.
= 23.62 + 18.86x1 + 24.72x2
SSE = 1,425 SSR = 1,326
He has also estimated the model with an additional variable x3. The results are
= 25.32 + 15.29x1 + 7.63x2 + 12.72x3
SSE = 1,300 SSR = 1,451
What advice would you give this researcher? Use a .05 level of significance.
