In a Comprehensive Road Test on New Car Models, One $\quad y =$

question 107

Multiple Choice

In a comprehensive road test on new car models, one variable measured is the time it takes a car to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour. To model acceleration time, a regression analysis is
Conducted on a random sample of 129 new cars. TIME60: $\quad y =$ Elapsed time (in seconds) from $0 \mathrm { mph }$ to $60 \mathrm { mph }$
MAX: $\quad x =$ Maximum speed attained (miles per hour)
The simple linear model $E ( y ) = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta 1 x$ was fit to the data. Computer printouts for the analysis are given below:
