HP: Horsepower MPG: Miles per gallon SUV: 1 if the vehicle model is an SUV with Coupe as the base when SUV and Sedan are both 0 Sedan: 1 if the vehicle model is a sedan with Coupe as the base when SUV and Sedan are both 0 The regression results using acceleration time as the dependent variable and the remaining variables as the independent variables are presented below. -Referring to Scenario 17-9, ________ of the variation in Accel Time can be explained by the five independent variables after taking into consideration the number of independent variables and the number of observations.

SCENARIO 17-8 The superintendent of a school district wanted to predict the percentage of students passing a sixth- grade proficiency test. She obtained the data on percentage of students passing the proficiency test (% Passing), daily mean of the percentage of students attending class (% Attendance), mean teacher salary in dollars (Salaries), and instructional spending per pupil in dollars (Spending) of 47 schools in the state. Following is the multiple regression output with $Y = \%$ Passing as the dependent variable, $X _ { 1 } = \%$ Attendance, $X _ { 2 } =$ Salaries and $X _ { 3 } =$ Spending: Regression Statistics Multiple R 0.7930 R Square 0.6288 Adjusted R 0.6029 Square Standard 10.4570 Error Observations 47 ANOVA Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Lower 95\% Upper 95\% Intercept -753.4225 101.1149 -7.4511 0.0000 -957.3401 -549.5050 \% Attendance 8.5014 1.0771 7.8929 0.0000 6.3292 10.6735 Salary 0.000000685 0.0006 0.0011 0.9991 -0.0013 0.0013 Spending 0.0060 0.0046 1.2879 0.2047 -0.0034 0.0153 -Referring to Scenario 17-8, which of the following is a correct statement?

SCENARIO 17-7 As a project for his business statistics class, a student examined the factors that determined parking meter rates throughout the campus area. Data were collected for the price per hour of parking, blocks to the quadrangle, and one of the three jurisdictions: on campus, in downtown and off campus, or outside of downtown and off campus. The population regression model hypothesized is $Y _ { i } = \alpha + \beta _ { 1 } X _ { 1 i } + \beta _ { 2 } X _ { 2 i } + \beta _ { 3 } X _ { 3 i } + \varepsilon$ where $Y$ is the meter price $X _ { l }$ is the number of blocks to the quad $X _ { 2 }$ is a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the meter is located in downtown and off campus and the value 0 otherwise $X _ { 3 }$ is a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the meter is located outside of downtown and off campus, and the value 0 otherwise The following Excel results are obtained.
