(4 points + 1 point BONUS) There is some evidence to suggest that exposure to airborne fungal products may be associated with adverse health effects, for example, respiratory tract infections. A random sample of Canadian elementary schools was obtained and the following data was obtained for each: mesophilic fungi (y, in cfu/m3), building age (Age, x1, in years), air exchange rate (Rate, xz, per hour), indoor C02 (C02, X3, ppm), and outdoor temperature (Temperature, X4, C). The following are the results from R: Residuals: Min 19 Median 39 Max -68.80 -21.35 1.40 22.32 71.14 Coefficients: Estimate Std.
