Besides their known long-term effects, do cigarettes also cause short-term illnesses such as colds? To help answer this question, a sample of smokers was drawn. Each person was asked to report the average number of cigarettes smoked per day and the number of days absent from work due to colds last year. The following output was obtained as a result of conducting regression analysis using Excel. (Some values are hidden, and referred to as x1, x2 and x3 for the purpose of this question.)

E) To determine whether there is sufficient evidence to infer that a linear relationship exist, the following test is to be conducted:H0: 1 = 0, Ha: 1 0How do you assess the linear model based on the above test? (Use a=0.05).
