question 266

Multiple Choice

Instruction 13.18
One of the most common questions of prospective house buyers pertains to the average cost of heating in dollars (Y) .
To provide its customers with information on that matter, a large real estate firm used the following four variables to predict heating costs: the daily minimum outside temperature in degrees of Celsius (X1) , the amount of insulation in cm (X2) , the number of windows in the house (X3) and the age of the furnace in years (X4) . Given below are the Microsoft Excel outputs of two regression models.
