fill in the missing values ‘*’, ‘**’, ‘***’and ‘****’ then test whether ᵟ is significant. give reason for your answer.

Beachcomber Ltd in a local car dealership that sells used and new vehicles. The manager of the
company wants to know how different variables affect the sales of his vehicles. A random sample of
yearly data was taken with the view to testing the model:
SALES=a+BAGE+YMIL+8ENG
Where SALES= amount that a vehicle is sold for($000's), AGE = age of the vehicle, MIL= the total
mileage of the vehicle at the point of sale and ENG = the size of the engine. The sample of data was
processed using MINITAB and the following is an extract of the output obtained:
