Answer to Problem 28.37E
Yes, the graph suggest that a multiple regression might be appropriate.
Explanation of Solution
In the question, it is given that an experiment compared the effects of adding various amounts of nitrogen fertilizers to two genotypes of tomato plants, a mild-type and a mutant variety. The percent of phosphorus in the plant, nitrogen and genotype is given in a table. Thus, the scatterplot of the amount of phosphorus in the plant against nitrogen, using different symbols for the two plant genotype is as follows:
In the scatterplot, we can see that the genotype zero is in red color and genotype one is in blue color. And the lines in the scatterplot are almost parallel so it is linear in nature and in both the lines the points are moving downwards so they are negative in relationship. Thus, as they are parallel so the graph suggest that a multiple regression might be appropriate for these data.

To explain does the ANOVA table for the model with the interaction term indicate that at least one of the explanatory variables is helpful in predicting the amount of phosphorus in the plant and explain do the individual t tests indicate that all coefficients are significantly different from zero.
(d)

Answer to Problem 28.37E
Yes, the ANOVA table for the model with the interaction term indicates that at least one of the explanatory variables is helpful in predicting the amount of phosphorus in the plant and the individual t tests indicate that all coefficients are significantly different from zero.
Explanation of Solution
In the question, it is given that an experiment compared the effects of adding various amounts of nitrogen fertilizers to two genotypes of tomato plants, a mild-type and a mutant variety. The percent of phosphorus in the plant, nitrogen and genotype is given in a table. Since in the ANOVA table in part (c) we can see that the P-value is less than the level of significance,
Thus, we can say that the ANOVA table for the model with the interaction term indicates that at least one of the explanatory variables is helpful in predicting the amount of phosphorus in the plant. And as we can see in the result of the regression analysis in part (c), we can see that all the P-values are less than the level of significance i.e.
Thus, we have sufficient evidence to conclude that the individual t tests indicate that all coefficients are significantly different from zero.
