Data providers want to investigate the time spent online (in hours) per day by an individual based on their age, gender, purpose (work, entertainment, information searching), and their relationship with other family members (poor, average, good). The model estimated model is:

where
ŷ : Time spent online (in hours)
x₁ : Age
x₂ : 1 if male, 0 otherwise
x₃ : 1 if work purpose, 0 otherwise
x₄ : 1 if entertainment purpose, 0 otherwise
x₅ : 1 if poor relationship with family, 0 otherwise
x₆ : 1 if average relationship with family, 0 otherwise

The numbers in parentheses beneath coefficient estimates are the associated standard error. Write a brief report on the result.
