Essay

The computer output for the multiple regression model $$y = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } x _ { 2 } + \epsilon$$ is shown below.However,because of a printer malfunction some of the results are not shown.These are indicated by the boldface letters a to i.Fill in the missing results (up to three decimal places). $\begin{array}{llll}\hline \text { Predictor } & \text { Coef } & \text { StDev } & T \\\hline \text { Constant } & \boldsymbol{a} & 6.15 & 4.11 \\x_{1} & 3.51 & \boldsymbol{b} & 1.25 \\x_{2} & -0.71 & 0.30 & \boldsymbol{c} \\\hline\end{array}$
$$\mathrm { S } = \boldsymbol { d } \quad \mathrm { R } - \mathrm { Sq } = \boldsymbol { e }$$
