Short Answer

SCENARIO 13-4
A real estate builder wishes to determine how house size (House) is influenced by family income (Income) and family size (Size).House size is measured in hundreds of square feet and income is measured in thousands of dollars.The builder randomly selected 50 families and ran the multiple regression.Partial Microsoft Excel output is provided below: $\begin{array}{lr}\hline{\text { Regression Statistics }} \\\hline \text { Multiple R } & 0.8479 \\\text { R Square } & 0.7189 \\\text { Adjusted R Square } & 0.7069 \\\text { Standard Error } & 17.5571 \\\text { Observations } & 50\\\hline \end{array}$

$\text { ANOVA }$
$\begin{array}{lrrrrr} & d f & \text { SS } & {M S} & F & \text { Significance } F \\\hline \text { Regression } & & & 37043.3236 & 18521.6618 & 0.0000 \\\text { Residual } & & 14487.7627 & 308.2503 & \\\text { Total } & & 49 & 51531.0863 & &\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{lrrrr}\hline & \text { Coefficients } & \text { Standard Error } &{t \text { Stat }} & \text { P-value } \\\hline \text { Intercept } & -5.5146 & 7.2273 & -0.7630 & 0.4493 \\\text { Income } & 0.4262 & 0.0392 & 10.8668 & 0.0000 \\\text { Size } & 5.5437 & 1.6949 & 3.2708 & 0.0020\\\hline \end{array}$

$\text { Also } \operatorname{SSR}\left(X_{1} \mid X_{2}\right)=36400.6326 \text { and } \operatorname{SSR}\left(X_{2} \mid X_{1}\right)=3297.7917$


-Referring to SCENARIO 13-4, the value of the partial F test statistic is forH0: Variable X2 does not significantly improve the model after variable X1 has been includedH1: Variable X2 significantly improves the model after variable X1 has been included
