A metalworking firm conducts an energy study using multiple regression methods. The dependent variable is y = energy consumption cost per day (in thousands of dollars), and the ­independent variables are x1 = tons of metal processed per day, x2 = average external temperature, x3 = rated wattage for machinery in use, and x4 = x1x2. The data are analyzed by Statistix. Selected output is shown here:
