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 (xS1U1B11S1U1B0), the cholesterol level (xS1U1B12S1U1B0), and the number of points that the individual's blood pressure exceeded the recommended value (xS1U1B13S1U1B0). 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 + 1.79xS1U1B11S1U1B0 -0.021xS1U1B12S1U1B0 - 0.061xS1U1B13S1U1B0 ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE -{Life Expectancy Narrative} Is there enough evidence at the 1% significance level to infer that the average number of hours of exercise per week and the age at death are linearly related?

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), xS1U1B11S1U1B0 is the number of lectures skipped, xS1U1B12S1U1B0 is the number of late assignments, and xS1U1B13S1U1B0 is the midterm exam score (out of 100). The professor recorded the data for 50 randomly selected students. The computer output is shown below.
