Assume you ran a multiple regression to gain a better understanding of the relationship between lumber sales, housing starts, and commercial construction. The regression uses LumberSales (in $100,000s) as the response variable with HousingStarts (in 1,000s) and Commercial Construction (in 1,000s) as the explanatory variables. The results of the regression are as follows:   df  SS  MS  F SignificanceF Regression  2 180,770  90,385  103 0 Residual  45 39,375 875     Total  47 220,145         Coefficients Standard Error  t-stat  p-value Intercept  5,37 1,71 3,14 0,0030 Housing Starts  0,76 0,09 8,44 0,0000 Commercial Construction  1,25 0,33 3,78 0,0005 Requirement: a. At the 5% significance level, are the explanatory variables jointly significant in explaining LumberSales? Explain. b. At the 5% significance level, is Commercial Construction significant in explaining LumberSales? Explain. c. At the 5% significance level, can you conclude that the slope coefficient attached to HousingStarts differs from 1? Explain.

Assume you ran a multiple regression to gain a better understanding of the relationship between lumber sales, housing starts, and commercial construction. The regression uses LumberSales (in $100,000s) as the response variable with HousingStarts (in 1,000s) and Commercial Construction (in 1,000s) as the explanatory variables. The results of the regression are as follows:

Requirement:

a. At the 5% significance level, are the explanatory variables jointly significant in explaining LumberSales? Explain.
b. At the 5% significance level, is Commercial Construction significant in explaining LumberSales? Explain.
c. At the 5% significance level, can you conclude that the slope coefficient attached to HousingStarts differs from 1? Explain.
