question 42

True/False

TABLE 14-16
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 regression results using acceleration time as the dependent variable and the remaining variables as the independent variables are presented below.

The various residual plots are as shown below.






-Referring to 14-16, there is enough evidence to conclude that Cargo Vol makes a significant contribution to the regression model in the presence of the other independent variables at a 5% level of significance.

Definitions:

Marginal Cost

The financial outlay required to create another unit of a good or service.

Average Total Cost

The total cost of production (fixed plus variable costs) divided by the number of goods produced, essentially the per unit production cost.

Average Variable Cost

The total variable costs (like materials and labor) divided by the quantity of output produced, indicating the cost of producing each unit.

Fixed Capital

Long-term assets used in the production of goods and services, such as buildings, machinery, and equipment.
