The Regression Equation

  A sample of 15 computers reveals the following data in   years of service (X1, YEARS), whether the computer is a MAC or not (X2, 1=Mac   computer, 0=not a Mac computer), and the total number of breakdowns (Y,   BREAKDOWNS).

The results are found below.

a. Analyze   the above output to determine the multiple regression equation.

b. Find and   interpret the multiple index of determination (R-Sq).    

c. Perform   the multiple regression t-tests on βˆ1, βˆ2(use two tailed test with (a =   .10). Interpret your results.   

d. Predict   the total number of breakdowns for a single computer that is a 5-year-old   MAC. Use both a point estimate and the appropriate interval estimate. (Points   : 31)
