Life Expectancy an Actuary Wanted to Develop a Model to Predict

question 13

Essay

Life Expectancy An actuary wanted to develop a model to predict how long individuals will live. After consulting a number of physicians, she collected the age at death ( y ), the average number of hours of exercise per week ( x 1), the cholesterol level ( x 2), and the number of points that the individual's blood pressure exceeded the recommended value ( x 3). A random sample of 40 individuals was selected. The computer output of the multiple regression model is shown below. THE REGRESSION EQUATION IS y = 55.8 + 1.79 x 1 - 0.021 x 2 - 0.061 x 3 Life Expectancy An actuary wanted to develop a model to predict how long individuals will live.
