TABLE 14-10 You worked as an intern at We Always Win Car Insurance Company last summer. You notice that individual car insurance premiums depend very much on the age of the individual, the number of traffic tickets received by the individual, and the population density of the city in which the individual lives. You performed a regression analysis in Excel and obtained the following information: $\text { Regression Analysis }$ Regression Statistics Multiple R 0.63 R Square 0.40 Adjusted R Square 0.23 Standard Error 50.00 Observations 15.00 $\text { ANOVA }$ df SS MS F Significance F Regression 3 5994.24 2.40 0.12 Residual 11 27496.82 Total 45479.54 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Lower 99.0\% Upper 99.0\% Intercept 123.80 48.71 2.54 0.03 -27.47 275.07 AGE -0.82 0.87 -0.95 0.36 -3.51 1.87 TICKETS 21.25 10.66 1.99 0.07 -11.86 54.37 DENSITY -3.14 6.46 -0.49 0.64 -23.19 16.91 -Referring to Table 14-10, the regression sum of squares that is missing in the ANOVA table should be ________.
