A company that manufactures computer chips wants to use a multiple regression model to study the effect that several variables x1, x2, ? , x5 have on the total daily production cost (in 1000?s of dollars). If a regression model is estimated using 179 observations on these variables, fill in the blanks in the following analysis of variance (ANOVA) table that is associated with this Model. Do all calculations to at least three decimal places.

Solution

Here i=5 (there are 5 independent variables)

and n=179 (given)

Source of variation	Degree of freedom	Sum of Squares	Mean Squares	F Statistic
Regression	i=5	198.8*5=994	49.7*4=198.8	49.7
Error	178-5=173	4*173=692	4
Total	n-1=178	994+692=1686
