Question

A sample of 25 families was taken for a study. The objective of the study was to estimate the factors that determine the monthly expenditure (in dollars) on food for families. The independent variables included in the analysis were the number of members in the family (x₁), the number of meals eaten outside (x₂), and a dummy variable (x₃) that equals 1 if a family member is on a diet and equals 0 if there is no family member on a diet. The following regression results were obtained.

	*Coefficients*	*Standard Error*
Intercept	450.08	53.6
x₁	49.92	9.6
x₂	10.12	2.2
x₃	-.60	12.0
