A gym teacher uses three exercises to increase arm strength: push-ups, pull-ups, and rope climbing. He has 10 students in small class. The exercises consist of doing as many push-ups as possible in 2 minutes. After a rest the student does as many push-ups as possible in 2 minutes. After a rest the student climbs a rope and the time is recorded in seconds. The data for this class is given below. Test the significance of the individual predictor variables at
Push-ups
| Pull-ups
| Rope
Climb | | Push-ups
| Pull-ups

| 16 | 13 | 69 | | 17 | 19 | 68 |
| 18 | 20 | 56 | | 23 | 22 | 49 |
| 24 | 25 | 46 | | 21 | 21 | 52 |
| 22 | 18 | 59 | | 20 | 16 | 63 |
| 19 | 15 | 65 | | 16 | 17 | 74 |
◦ Consider removing the variable "Pull-ups" because it is not a good predictor of "Rope Climb Time".
◦ Consider removing the variable "Push-ups" because it is not a good predictor of "Rope Climb Time".
◦ Both explanatory variables have a significant linear relationship with the response variable.
◦ Consider removing both variables because neither is a good predictor of "Rope Climb Time".
