Consider a linear regression model estimating the fuel efficiency of a car in terms miles per gallon of gas (mpg) based on its origin (region A, B or C) and number of cylinders with the following formula:
mpg = b0 + b1*RegionB + b2*RegionC + b3*Cylinders
The estimated values of the regression coefficients are provided below:
b0 = 40.7
b1 = -0.91
b2 = 2.66
b3 = -3.15
Based on this model, if X is the mpg of a car with 4 cylinders originated from region B, and Z is the mpg of a car with 3 cylinders originated from region A, what is the value of X - Z:
A. -0.91
B. -3.15
C. -4.06
D. -6.72
