TABLE 15-5 What Are the Factors That Determine the Acceleration Time (In

question 42

Short Answer

TABLE 15-5
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 171 different vehicle models were collected:
Accel Time: Acceleration time in sec.
Cargo Vol: Cargo volume in cu. ft.
HP: Horsepower
MPG: Miles per gallon
SUV: 1 if the vehicle model is an SUV with Coupe as the base when SUV and Sedan are both 0
Sedan: 1 if the vehicle model is a sedan with Coupe as the base when SUV and Sedan are both 0
The coefficient of multiple determination (R) for the regression model using each of the 5 variables Xⱼ as the dependent variable and all other X variables as independent variables are, respectively, 0.7461, 0.5676, 0.6764, 0.8582, 0.6632.
-Referring to Table 15-5, what is the value of the variance inflationary factor of SUV?
