Question
A real estate developer wishes to study the relationship between the size of home a client will purchase (in square feet) and other variables. Possible independent variables include the family income, family size, whether there is a senior adult parent living with the family (1 for yes, 0 for no), and the total years of education beyond high school for the husband and wife. The sample information is reported below. Family Square Feet Income (000s) Family Size Senior Parent Education 1 2,790 68.4 3 0 4 2 2,380 68.4 2 1 6 3 3,576 104.5 3 0 7 4 3,154 53.5 3 1 0 5 3,195 94.1 5 0 2 6 3,142 114 3 1 10 7 4,480 125.4 6 0 6 8 2,520 83.6 3 0 8 9 4,200 133 5 0 2 10 2,800 95 3 0 6 Picture Click here for the Excel Data File a. Develop an appropriate multiple regression equation using stepwise method. (Use excel data analysis and enter number of family members first, then their income and delete any insignificant variables. Round P-value to 3 decimal places. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round the Constant, Income values to 1 decimal place and T-value, R2, R2(adj) to 2 decimal places.) Step 1 2 Constant Family T-Value P-Value Income T-Value P-Value S R2 % % R2(adj) % % b. Select all independent variables that should be in the final model. (Select all that apply.) Senior parent Square feet Family size Income Education

Here, we can see that the p-value of all the other variables except Family Size go above 0.05 and hence those models are not significant. Only Family Size turns out to be significant.
