1. In a now-classic study in the 1970s on people's view of crime and society, an interviewer asked a random sample of 45 students to decide, of a variety acts, how many should be considered a crime. For each student, the researcher recorded the response variable Crime (the number of acts the student considered a crime). The following four explanatory variables were recorded for each student in the study: Age: The subject's age in years; College: How long the subject had been in college so far (in years); Income: The income of the subject's parents (in $1000); Sex: The subject's sex (l=female, 0=male). Some output corresponding to the study is on the next page 1 (a) If you had to choose only m of the four explanatory variables to predict the response variable Crime, which explanatory variable would it be? Support your answer with the relevant number(s) from the output on the next page. [4 pts] 1 (b) For the variable you selected in part (a), interpret the value of [3, in context.
