d.
Find the best model among the three models obtained in part (a), part (b) and part (c).
d.
Answer to Problem 8E
The model obtained in part (b) is the best model compared to the other two models in part (a) and part (c).
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
In the model obtained in part (b), all the coefficients of the model are significantly different from zero.
The coefficient of determination is higher for the model obtained in part (b), than for the model obtained in part (a).
That is,
There is not much difference in the coefficient of determination for the model obtained in part (b) and part (c).
That is, 0.9976% and 0.9978% are not much distinct.
Increasing the number of predictors in an analysis increases the complexity of analysis. An investigator usually does not wish to increase the complications of analysis for such a small increase in
Thus, the model obtained in part (b) is the best model compared to the other two models in part (a) and part (c).
