The editors of a national automotive magazine recently studied 30 different automobiles sold in the United States with the intent of seeing whether they could develop a multiple regression model to explain the variation in highway miles per gallon. A number of different independent variables were collected. The following regression output (with some values missing) was recently presented to the editors by the magazine's analysts: Based on this output and your understanding of multiple regression analysis, which of the independent variables is not considered statistically significant if the test is conducted at the 0.05 level of statistical significance?
A) All the variables in the model are statistically significant.
B) None of the variables in the model is statistically significant.
C) Torque and price as tested
D) Cylinders, torque, and 0 to 60
