Chapter 15.7, Problem 36E
This problem is an extension of the situation described in exercise 35.
- a. Develop the estimated regression equation to predict the repair time given the number of months since the last maintenance service, the type of repair, and the repairperson who performed the service.
- b. At the .05 level of significance, test whether the estimated regression equation developed in part (a) represents a significant relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable.
- c. Is the addition of the independent variable x3, the repairperson who performed the service, statistically significant? Use α = .05. What explanation can you give for the results observed?

Automobile racing, high-performance driving schools, and driver education programs run by automobile clubs continue to grow in popularity. All these activities require the
participant to wear a helmet that is certified by the Snell Memorial Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to research, education, testing, and development of
helmet safety standards. Snel| "SA" (Sports Application) rated professional helmets are designed for auto racing and provide extreme impact resistance and high fire
protection. One of the key factors in selecting a helmet is weight, since lower weight helmets tend to place less stress on the neck. The following data show the weight and
price for 18 SA helmets (SoloRacer website).
