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
