Refer to the regression output below. The data set analyzed describes metal alloy that has been recovered and processed by a metal recovery firm. The recovered alloy is offered up for bid to a secondary market at approximately one week intervals although the exact day of offer varies. Each observation showed the recovery firms highest bid offer per pound, the percent metal content of one shipment of the recovered alloy, and the price per pound for the aluminum alloy contract on the London Metal Exchange for the day the shipment bid offer was accepted. The variables are described below. Answer Questions 35-38 using this information.
