Table E12-3 provides the highway gasoline mileage test results for 2005 model year vehicles from DaimlerChrysler.

The full table of data (available on the book€™s Web site) contains the same data for 2005 models from over 250 vehicles from many manufacturers (Environmental Protection Agency Web site www.epa.gov/ otaq/cert/mpg/testcars/database).

(a) Fit a multiple linear regression model to these data to estimate gasoline mileage that uses the following regressors: 

cid, rhp, etw, cmp, axle, n/v

(b) Estimate σ2 and the standard errors of the regression coefficients.

(c) Predict the gasoline mileage for the first vehicle in the table.
