A researcher is interested in developing a linear model for the electricity consumption of a household having an AC (1.5 ton) so that she can predict the electricity consumption. For this purpose, she selects 25 houses and records the electricity consumption (in kWh), size of house (in square feet) and AC hours for one month during summers. The results obtained are:
b̂0 =  22.381 b̂1 = 1.6161, b̂2 = 0.0144, SS( b̂0) = 12526.08, SS( b̂0, b̂1) = 17908.47, SS( b̂0, b̂2) = 17125.23, SS( b̂0, b̂1, b̂2) = 18079.0, σ2= 10.53, SE( b̂1) = 0.17,= and SE( b̂2) = 0.0035.
