d.
Find the coefficient of multiple determination.
Give the conclusion stating the importance of lubrication regimen.
d.
Answer to Problem 54E
The coefficient of multiple determination is 74.1%
The lubrication regimen is not important because there is not much of a difference in the coefficient of multiple determination even after removing the two variables corresponding to lubrication.
The two variables corresponding to lubrication shows no effect and need not be included in the model as long as the other predictors BHP and suppliers were retained.

Coefficient of determination:
The coefficient of determination tells the total amount of variation in the dependent variable explained by the independent variable. It
