The accompanying table shows results from regressions performed on data from a random sample of 21 cars. The response (y) variable is CITY (fuel consumption in mi'gal). The predictor (x) variables are WT (weight in pounds). DISP (engine displacement in liters), and HWY (highway fuel consumption in mi/gal). If only one predictor (x) variable is used to predict the city fuel consumption, which single variable is best? Why? E Click the icon to view the table of regression equations. The best variable is because it has the best combination of V P-value,. and adjusted R?. (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

![### Multiple Linear Regression Analysis
This table presents the results of multiple linear regression analyses conducted to predict the variable "CITY" using various predictor combinations.
#### Table Explanation
1. **Predictor (x) Variables**: Lists the variables used in each regression model.
- **WT**: Weight
- **DISP**: Displacement
- **HWY**: Highway
2. **P-Value**: All models have a P-value of 0.000, indicating that the relationships between the predictors and the response variable are statistically significant.
3. **R² (Coefficient of Determination)**: Indicates the proportion of variance in the dependent variable explained by the model.
- Values range from 0.659 to 0.943.
4. **Adjusted R²**: Adjusts the R² value for the number of predictors in the model, providing a more accurate measure when comparing models with different numbers of predictors.
- Values range from 0.641 to 0.937, slightly lower than R² due to the adjustment.
5. **Regression Equation**: Each row provides the equation derived from regression analysis. They represent the model to predict "CITY" based on the given predictors.
#### Regression Equations
- **WT/DISP/HWY**:
\[
\text{CITY} = 6.82 - 0.00126 \cdot \text{WT} - 0.259 \cdot \text{DISP} + 0.657 \cdot \text{HWY}
\]
- **WT/DISP**:
\[
\text{CITY} = 37.6 - 0.00157 \cdot \text{WT} - 1.33 \cdot \text{DISP}
\]
- **WT/HWY**:
\[
\text{CITY} = 6.72 - 0.00157 \cdot \text{WT} + 0.674 \cdot \text{HWY}
\]
- **DISP/HWY**:
\[
\text{CITY} = 1.84 - 0.625 \cdot \text{DISP} + 0.705 \cdot \text{HWY}
\]
- **WT**:
\[
