The ability of ecologists to identify regions of greatest species richness could have an impact on the preservation of genetic diversity, a major objective of the World Conservation Strategy. The article “Prediction of Rarities from Habitat Variables: Coastal Plain Plants on Nova Scotian Lakeshores” (Ecology [1992]: 1852–1859) used a sample n = 37 lakes to obtain the estimated regression equation
where y = Species richness, x1 = Watershed area, x2 = Shore width, x3 = Drainage (%), x4 = Water color (total color units), x5 = Sand (%), and x6 = Alkalinity. The coefficient of multiple determination was reported as R2 = 0.83. Use a test with significance level 0.01 to decide whether the chosen model is useful.

The expected lung capacity of a smoker is expected to be 0.648588 lower than that of a non-smoker. B. The predictor variables Age and Smoker both contribute significantly to the model. C. For every one year that a person gets older, the lung capacity is expected to increase by 0.555396 units, holding smoker status constant. D. For every one unit increase in smoker status, lung capacity is expected to decrease by 0.648588 units, holding age constant.arrow_forwardThe model developed from sample data that has the form of Yhat = bo +bjX is known as the multiple regression model with two predictor variables.
