Question

A researcher is interested to find out how the engine displacement, vehicle weight, and the type of transmission [i.e. automatic & manual] affect the automobile gasoline mileage.  Type of transmission is represented by one dummy variable: automatic (=1, if transmission is automatic; = 0, if transmission is manual)

 

Part of the raw data and the regression output of 40 different car models are given below.

Displacement(cubic in)

Weight(lb))
