There no enough evidence to conclude that the childs age and the number of
doctor visits are linearly related at = 0.02
(c) Since there is no relationship between the childs age and the number
of doctor visits, we cannot use the regression equation in (a) to predict the
number of doctor visits of a 5-years-old disability child.
So the predicted value in (a) is not accurate.

69.34% of selling price of a house in RM is explained by L (living area in
square feet), A (age in years), and R (number of rooms).
(ii)
229399.7893 110.3454 920.2414 10263.8962 y L A R +
.
(iii) 110.345 : when the A (age in years), and R (number of rooms) remains
constant, the selling price of a house increase by RM 110.345 for each
square feet increase in the L (living area in square feet).
(iv) The Significance F = 2.3564 10
-9
< 0.05.
Thus, at least one of the independent variables x, is related to dependent
variable the selling price of a house in RM.

(a)
Equation with Variable L (living area in square feet), and A (age in years)
have the smallest P-value.
Equation with Variable L (living area in square feet), and A (age in years)
have the highest Adjusted R
Thus, if exactly two predictor variables are used to predict travel time,
variables L (living area in square feet), and A (age in years) should be
chosen.
Thus the best equation for predicting selling price of a house in RM is
184602.617 + 91.1091 L - 772.8966 A
(c)
Without the variable R (number of rooms) equation (b) has the highest R
value. So we can exclude this variable.
Thus the best equation for predicting selling price of a house in RM is
184602.617 + 91.1091 L - 772.8966 A
