QUESTION 15

    In the output, no t-tests are significant at

    =0.05, but the F-test for regression has a p-value of approximately 0. The best explanation of these results is:

    These regressors are not useful predictors

    Multicollinearity is present

    All these regressors are useful predictors

    Only first variable x1 is a useful predictor
