-In a comprehensive road test on all 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: $\quad \mathrm { x } _ { 1 } =$ Maximum speed attained (miles per hour)
Initially, the simple linear model $\mathrm { E } ( \mathrm { y } ) = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 \mathrm { x } 1 }$ was fit to the data. Computer printouts for the analysis are given below:
