the follwoing information is generated

(a) y=-52.78+41.49x

p-value=0.0364 of the t-statistic of x1 is is less than the alpha=0.05, so it is significant

(b) 54.52%

(c) the following information is generated using x1 and x2

y=-46.208+23.485x1+18.98x2,

since p-value of each of x1 and x2 is less than alpha=0.05, so these are significant. but beta0 is not signifianct.
