Medical researchers conducted a study designed to evaluate the relationship between blood pressure (y), age (x1), and cholesterol (x2). They proposed a linear model. A total of 126 individuals were randomly sampled, and blood pressure, age, and cholesterol were recorded for each. The regression summary appears here:
The regression equation is
Blood Pressure = 45.5 + 1.03 Age + 0.032 Cholesterol
Predictor Coef SE Coef T P

Which predictor (if any) does not appear to be linearly correlated with blood pressure? Which reason supports your answer?
◦
All of the predictors are significant because thep-value from the global utility test is essentially zero.
◦
All of the predictors are significant because the R-Sq value is quite high (85%).
◦
Cholesterol does not appear to be linearly correlated with blood pressure because itsp- value is 0.937.
◦
Age does not appear to be linearly correlated with blood pressure because itsp-value is essentially zero.
