Beachcomer Ltd is a local car dealership that sells used and new vehicles. The manager of the company wants to know how different variables affect the sales of his vehicles. A random sample of yearly data was taken with the view to testing the model. SALES = a+BAGE + yMIL + SENG Where SALES = amount that a vehicle is sold for (000's), AGE = age of vehicle, MIL= the total mileage of the vehicle at the point of sale and ENG = the size of the engine. The sample of data was processed using MINITAB and the following is an extract of the output obtained:  The regression equation is *****                       Coef                      StDev              t-ratio           p-value Predictor Constant        1.7586            0.2525             6.9648      0.0000 AGE                 0.2124            0.3175                   *            0.5042 MIL                -0.7527            0.3586            -2.0991        **

Where SALES = amount that a vehicle is sold for (000's), AGE = age of vehicle, MIL= the total mileage of the vehicle at the point of sale and ENG = the size of the engine. The sample of data was processed using MINITAB and the following is an extract of the output obtained: 

The regression equation is *****
