Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The MINITAB output shows the best regression option for the data predicted for pH before the addition of dyes using carpet density, carpet weight, dye weight, dye weight as a percentage of carpet and pH after addition of dyes.
Justification:
Mallows
It is used to assess the fit of regression model where the aim to find the best subset of predictors. A relatively small value of
By observing the mallows
By examining the models with three variables,
Hence, the model with two predictorsnamely dye weight and pH after addition of dyes could be considered as a best model subset for predicting pH before the addition of dyes.
Also, a second option would be the model with three predictorsnamely carpet weight, dye weight and pH after addition of dyes could be considered as a best model subset for predicting pH before the addition of dyes.

Calculation:
The test hypotheses are given below:
Null hypothesis:
That is, there is no use of linear relationship between pH before the addition of dyes and the predictors dye weightand pH after the addition of dyes.
Alternative hypothesis:
That is, there is a use of linear relationship between pH before the addition of dyes and at least one of the predictors dye weightand pH after the addition of dyes.
