The accompanying table shows results from regressions performed on data from a random sample of 21 cars. The response (y) variable is CITY (fuel consumption in mi/gal). The predictor (x) variables are WT (weight in pounds), DISP (engine
displacement in liters), and HWY (highway fuel consumption in mi/gal). Which regression equation is best for predicting city fuel consumption? Why?

Choose the correct answer below.
O A. The equation CITY = 6.65 - 0.00161WT + 0.675HWY is best because it has a low P-value and the highest adjusted value of R2.
O B. The equation CITY = 6.83 - 0.00132WT - 0.253DISP + 0.654HWY is best because it has a low P-value and the highest value of R?.
OC. The equation CITY = 6.83 - 0.00132WT - 0.253DISP + 0.654HWY is best because it uses all of the available predictor variables.
O D. The equation CITY = - 3.14 + 0.823HWY is best because it has a low P-value and its R2 and adjusted R? values are comparable to…

- A high R2 is all that is needed to determine if a regression is a good model of a causal process. A. True B. Falsearrow_forwardPlease show workarrow_forwardThe Minister of Finance has hired you as an economic consultant to estimate the impact of a new tax on carbon use on household spending. To do this, you have obtained data for a large sample of 1,500 individuais over the last 5 years (7,500 observations in total) in the United Kingdom where a carbon tax was put in place 3 years ago. You start with a very simple regression model to get a feel for the data: Y = A+ BX + e where Y = annual spending on all goods and services and X = tax price on carbon. Unfortunately the tax price on carbon varies by type of individual, so it is measured with error. a) If the true value of B is known to be -0.79, based on reliable estimates for other countries, the variance of the measurement error is estimated to be 2.4, and the variance of X is estimated to be 1.6, the estimated slope coefficient for B could be biased by an amount equal to: b) This type of measurement error will result in the slope B being:arrow_forward
