Use the following display for the next questions. The display is based on
sample annual data relating to the ozone layer monitoring at Halley Station in
Antarctica. The dependent variable is the year. The independent variables are as
follows: the level of ozone in Dobson units (DU), the global temperature (Temp, in
°C ), and the United States chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases production (in
thousands of metric tons).

-Identify the adjusted coefficient of determination for the multiple regression equation that expresses the year in terms of ozone level, global temperature, and US production of CFCs.
