A Regression Model with One Independent Variable, X₁, Resulted in an SSE

question 35

Short Answer

A regression model with one independent variable, x₁, resulted in an SSE of 50. When a second independent variable, x₂, was added to the model, the SSE was reduced to 40. At α = .05, determine if x₂ contributes significantly to the model. The sample size for both models was 30.
