The regression model was Y = total sales (thousands of dollars), X1 = display floor space (square meters), X2 = competitors' advertising expenditures (thousands of dollars), X3 =advertised price (dollars per unit). Picture Click here for the Excel Data File (a) Fill in the values in the table given here (confidence level 99%). (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round your t-values to 3 decimal places and p-values to 4 decimal places.)
