Explanation / Answer

From the table,the t value corresponding to the variable price,the slope parameter is -1.2873605,its T statistics has value=-1.765 and p-value is 0.08971.From this we can conclude that,the slope parameter is moderately significant in the model since it is closer to 0.1 but greater than 0.05,we need to find its relationship with orher variables because multiple R-squared is 0.796 which tells that the linear relationship is moderate.not very strong.We need to check if the variable raised to any non-zero power can be more significant in the model.
