Thirty employed single individuals were randomly selected to examine the relationship between their age (Age)and their credit card debt (Debt)expressed as a percentage of their annual income.Three polynomial models were applied and the following table summarizes Excel's regression results.   If you impose the restrictions β<sub>2</sub> = β<sub>3</sub> = 0 on the model Debt = β<sub>0</sub> + β<sub>1</sub>Age + β<sub>2</sub>Age<sup>2</sup>+ β<sub>3</sub>Age<sup>3 </sup>+ ε,what will be the sum of the squared errors (SSE<sub>R</sub>)computed for the restricted model? If you impose the restrictions β2 = β3 = 0 on the model Debt = β0 + β1Age + β2Age2+ β3Age3 + ε,what will be the sum of the squared errors (SSER)computed for the restricted model?
