E Question Help * The accompanying table shows resuits from regressions perfor milgal) The predictor (x) variables are WT (weight in pounds) DISP (engine displacement in liters), and HWY (highway fuel consumption in mi/gal) Which regression med on data from a random sample of 21 cars. The response (y) variable is CITY (fuel consumption in equation is best for predicting city fuel consumption? Why? click the icon to view the table of regression equations Choose the correct answer below O A The equation CITY values of equations with more predictor variables -3 13-0 8 19HNNY is best because it has a low P value and its R2 and adusted R2 values are comparable to the R2 and adusted R2 O B.

Explanation / Answer

A is right

We choose the regression equation which has the following:

1.Lowest p-value
2.Highest Rsquare
3.The adjusted Rsquare should be the highest

The 3rd has prioirty over 2nd point, This with lowest no. of predictors

A altough doesn't have highest Rsquare/adj. Rsquare, has managed to have a comparable rsquare with lesser no. of variables

B is not the criterion, you may use any no. of variables, constraint to the above 3 statements

C is not right, and satisfies the 1 and 2 conditions. Has more no. of variables

D satisfies, but has more no. of variables.
