For Output (A) we notice the significance values for the different coefficients
If we consider testing for the coefficients of the variables at 5% level of significance,
we find that the p-value for the coefficient of x2 = 0.878 > 0.05 ; hence we fail to reject the null
for the coefficient of x2 , which is ( the coefficient is equal to zero) .
As the quadratic term in the regression vanishes at a test of 5% los, we can conclude that regression equation for Y on X is straight.
