SCENARIO 18-9 What Are the Factors That Determine the Acceleration

question 64

True/False

SCENARIO 18-9 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. SCENARIO 18-9 cont. The various residual plots are as shown below. SCENARIO 18-9 cont. SCENARIO 18-9 cont. The coefficient of partial determination of each of the 5 predictors are, respectively, 0.0380, 0.4376, 0.0248, 0.0188, and 0.0312. 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 18-9, the error appears to be left-skewed.
