Beachcomer Ltd is 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.

Where SALES = amount that a vehicle is sold for (000's), AGE = age of 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:
