A statistical program is recommended. The Cond Nast Traveler Gold List for 2012 provided ratings for the top 20 small cruise ships. The data shown below are the scores each ship received based upon the results from Cond Nast Traveler's Annual Readers' Choice Survey. Each score represents the percentage of respondents who rated a ship as excellent or very good on several criteria, including Itineraries/Schedule, Shore Excursions, and Food/Dining. An overall score was also reported and used to rank the

(a)
Determine the estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the overall score given the scores for Itineraries/Schedule, Shore Excursions, and Food/Dining. (Let x1 represent Itineraries/Schedule, x2 represent Shore Excursion, x3 represent Food/Dining, and y represent Overall score. Round your constant term to one decimal place and coefficients to two decimal places.)
