SCENARIO 15-5 What Are the Factors That Determine the Acceleration

question 53

True/False

SCENARIO 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 ( )for the regression model using each of the 5 variables 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 Scenario 15-5, there is reason to suspect collinearity between some pairs of predictors based on the values of the variance inflationary factor.
