ANOVA
$\begin{array}{lrrrrrr}\hline & d f & & S S & M S & F & \text { Significance } F \\\hline \text { Regression } & 3 & & 5994.24 & 2.40 & 0.12 \\\text { Residual } & 11 & 27496.82 & & & \\\text { Total } & & & 45479.54 & & & \\\hline\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{lrrrrrrr}\hline & \text { Coefficients } & \begin{array}{c}\text { Standard } \\\text { Error }\end{array} & t \text { Stat } & P \text {-value } & \text { Lower 99.0\% } & \text { Upper 99.0\% } \\\hline \text { Intercept } & 123.80 & 48.71 & 2.54 & 0.03 & -27.47 & 275.07 \\\text { AGE } & -0.82 & 0.87 & -0.95 & 0.36 & -3.51 & 1.87 \\\text { TICKETS } & 21.25 & 10.66 & 1.99 & 0.07 & -11.86 & 54.37 \\\text { DENSITY } & -3.14 & 6.46 & -0.49 & 0.64 & -23.19 & 16.91 \\\hline\end{array}$
