Consider the Model $y = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } x _ { 2 } + \beta _ { 3 } x _ { 3 } + \varepsilon$

Consider the model $y = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } x _ { 2 } + \beta _ { 3 } x _ { 3 } + \varepsilon$ where $x _ { 1 }$ is a quantitative variable and $x _ { 2 }$ and $x _ { 3 }$ are dummy variables describing a qualitative variable at three levels using the coding scheme $x _ { 2 } = \left\{ \begin{array} { l l } 1 & \text { if level } 2 \\ 0 & \text { otherwise } \end{array} \quad x _ { 3 } = \left\{ \begin{array} { l l } 1 & \text { if level } 3 \\ 0 & \text { otherwise } \end{array} \right. \right.$

The resulting least squares prediction equation is $\hat { y } = 36.7 + 1.3 x _ { 1 } + 5.4 x _ { 2 } + 3.2 x _ { 3 }$ . What is the least squares regression equation associated with level 2?

A) $\hat { y } = 39.9 + 1.3 x _ { 1 }$
B) $\hat { y } = 38.0 + 5.4 x _ { 2 }$
C) $\hat { y } = 39.9 + 5.4 x _ { 2 }$
D) $\hat { y } = 42.1 + 1.3 x _ { 1 }$
