16. Section 9.3, Page 535, #33
17. Section 9.4, Page 540, #5 (see printout below)

The data for problem #5 on page 540 (above) were entered into Minitab with the following results. The variables y, x1 and x2 are as defined in the text.
The regression equation is:
y = -2518.36 +126.82 x1 + 66.36 x2
Predictor Coefficient SE Coef t p
Constant -2518.36 434.98 -5.79 0.0004
x1 126.82 275.76 0.46 0.658
x2 66.36 43.13 1.54 0.162

s = 28.49; R-sq = 98.5%; R-sq(adj) = 98.1%

To provide another view, the data were also entered into STATCRUNCH as accessed from CourseCompass. The results of the calculation may be compared with those obtained using Minitab.
