Question

The maintenance manager at a trucking company wants to build a regression model to forecast time until the first engine overhaul based on four explanatory variables: (1) annual miles driven, (2) average load weight, (3) average driving speed, and (4) oil change interval. Based on driver logs and onboard computers, data have been obtained for a sample of 25 trucks. ck h a. Estimate the time until the first engine overhaul as a function of all four explanatory variables. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.) -0.0896 Miles-0.0732 Load 0.0048 Speed 0297 Oil b-1. At the 10% significance level, are the explanatory variables jointly significant? First, specify the competing hypotheses. O Ho. 1-p2-p3-p4=0:HAi At least one j > 0 O Ho:A-p2-p3-p4-0; HA At least one j

Explanation / Answer

a)

Time=13.4343-0.08956*Annual Miles Driven-0.0732*Average Load Weight+0.0048*Average Driving Speed-0.0297*Oil Change Interval

b-1)

option 4 (selected is correct)

b-2)

p-value<0.01

b-3)

Reject, H0

c-1)

option 4 (selected is correct)

c-2)
