The variable Steering rates the tires steering responsiveness, Tread Wear rates quickness of wear based on the drivers expectations, and Buy Again rates the drivers overall tire satisfaction and desire to purchase the same tire again.1.Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the Buy Again rating given based on the Steering rating. At the .05 level of significance, test for a significant relationship.Interpret the coefficients (Say what they mean in terms of change in y corresponding to a change in x) 2.Did the estimated regression equation developed in part (a) provide a good fit to the data? Explain.3.Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the Buy Again rating given the Steering rating and the Tread Wear rating.4.Is the addition of the Tread Wear independent variable significant? Use 0.05 level of significance.
