Question: Using data from existing La Quinta hotels, I have built a regression model to predict the operating margin of a given hotel. My independent variables

Using data from existing La Quinta hotels, I have built a regression model to predict the operating margin of a given hotel. My independent variables are as follows: College (# of students enrolled in nearby college(s), Hosp1 (# of hospital beds within 1 mile of hotel), Access (Accessibility on a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the best), Artery (0/1 variable with 1= major traffic artery, 0= not a major traffic artery), Rate (avg room rate of competitive hotels), and Nearest (distance, in miles, to nearest La Quinta Inn). The summary statistics from my regression are as follows: Regression Statistics Multiple R 0.77216 R Square 0.59623 Adjusted R Square 0.54576 Standard Error Observations 55 20.3511 ANOVA Significance F 4.29876E-08 Regression Residual Total df 6 48 54 SS 29356.25 19879.94 49236.19 MS F 4892.71 11.81342 414.165 Intercept COLLEGE HOSP1 ACCESS ARTERY RATE NEAREST Coefficie Standard nts Error t Stat P-value 10.1189 18.36256 0.55106 0.584146 0.00097 0.000554 1.75521 0.085604 0.08393 0.017068 4.91754 1.07E-05 2.90629 1.030611 2.81997 0.006961 -16.9878 5.824052 -2.91683 -2.91683 0.005364 0.07158 0.374667 0.19106 0.849284 -0.35521 0.088545 0.088545 -4.01167 0.00021 Upper Lower Upper Lower 95% 95% 95.0% 95.0% -26.80145638 47.0393 -26.8015 47.03933 -0.000141536 0.00209 -0.00014 0.002087 0.049615033 0.11825 0.049615 0.11825 0.834110207 4.97847 0.83411 4.978474 -28.69783111 -5.27775 -28.6978 -5.27775 -0.681734055 0.8249 -0.68173 0.824902 -0.533244009 -0.17718 -0.53324 -0.17718 Q1. Choose the best answer to complete the following statement. Based off of the regression results, I can say... My model predicts the dependent variable (operating margin) better than just using the intercept. My model does not predict the dependent variable (operating margin) better than just using the intercept
