Explanation / Answer

Solution:

From given ANOVA table we can see p-value is 0.00 which is less than 0.05 alpha value which means our model is significant.

Also we can see that Rsquare value is 99.9% which means our model explains 99.9% variance in cost due to all independent variables.

Independent variables paper and machine have p-value 0.00 which means these are significant and independent variable overhead and labour is not 0.967 and 0.223 which is greater than 0.05 which are non significant so we can remove these from our analysis and run regression again to increase R-square.
