Please interpret this outcome as a percentage and explain how it relates the variables discussed in this study described here.

b) What is wrong with this information: "The output from a regression analysis shows that R²is .378 Adjusted R² is .529.". Please explain your response.

Please complete the following:

1. a) If SS_T = 457362 and SS_R = 54375, then what would SS_M be equal to?

b) Why does a larger F value mean it's good news for the new model versus our old model?

c) As the F value increases, the p value increases or decreases?

d) Please explain your response to part c above.
