An Actuary Wanted to Develop a Model to Predict How $x _ { 1 }$

An actuary wanted to develop a model to predict how long individuals will live. After consulting a number of physicians, she collected the age at death (y), the average number of hours of exercise per week ( $x _ { 1 }$ ), the cholesterol level ( $x _ { 2 }$ ), and the number of points by which the individual's blood pressure exceeded the recommended value ( $x _ { 3 }$ ). A random sample of 40 individuals was selected. The computer output of the multiple regression model is shown below:
THE REGRESSION EQUATION IS $y =$ $55.8 + 1.79 x _ { 1 } - 0.021 x _ { 2 } - 0.016 x _ { 3 }$ $$\begin{array} { | c | c c c | } \hline \text { Predictor } & \text { Coef } & \text { StDev } & \mathrm { T } \\\hline \text { Constant } & 55.8 & 11.8 & 4.729 \\x _ { 1 } & 1.79 & 0.44 & 4.068 \\x _ { 2 } & - 0.021 & 0.011 & - 1.909 \\x _ { 3 } & - 0.016 & 0.014 & - 1.143 \\\hline\end{array}$$ S = 9.47 R-Sq = 22.5%. $$\begin{array}{l}\text { ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE }\\\begin{array} { | l | c c c c | } \hline \text { Source of Variation } & \text { df } & \text { SS } & \text { MS } & \text { F } \\\hline \text { Regression } & 3 & 936 & 312 & 3.477 \\\text { Error } & 36 & 3230 & 89.722 & \\\hline \text { Total } & 39 & 4166 & & \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}$$ Is there enough evidence at the 10% significance level to infer that the model is useful in predicting length of life?
