Question:

Cars, fuel efficiency Consider a regression to predict the fuel efficiency (as miles per gallon, MPG) of the cars in the Cars data file. Here is one regression model using the Weight and the Drive Ratio:

Response variable is: MPG

R-squared = 89.5%    s = 2.186

1. What is the interpretation of the coefficient of Weight in this model?

2. Do you think this is a successful model for predicting the fuel efficiency of a car?

3. These cars were measured more than two decades ago. Do you think this model should apply to more modern cars? What exceptions would you suggest?
