TABLE 14-16 What Are the Factors That Determine the Acceleration Time (In

question 185

Short Answer

TABLE 14-16
What are the factors that determine the acceleration time (in sec.)from 0 to 60 miles per hour of a car? Data on the following variables for 30 different vehicle models were collected:
Y (Accel Time): Acceleration time in sec.
X₁ (Engine Size): c.c.
X₂ (Sedan): 1 if the vehicle model is a sedan and 0 otherwise
The regression results using acceleration time as the dependent variable and the remaining variables as the independent variables are presented below. The various residual plots are as shown below. The coefficient of partial determinations and are 0.3301,and 0.0594,respectively.
The coefficient of determination for the regression model using each of the 2 independent variables as the dependent variable and the other independent variable as independent variables ( )are,respectively 0.0077,and 0.0077.
-Referring to Table 14-16,what is the p-value of the test statistic to determine whether being a sedan or not makes a significant contribution to the regression model in the presence of the other independent variable at a 5% level of significance?
