Below is a table for a Randomized Block ANOVA looking for differences in computer prices based on two factors: size of hard drive and amount of RAM. Analysis of Variance Sum of Squares for a RB ANOVA test Source DF SS MS F-Value P-Value  Hard Drive 3 820.4 273.47 4.99 0.045  RAM 2 1108 554 10.10 0.012 Error 6 329 54.83     Total 11 2257.4         Question (fill in the blanks): Based on the numbers in the table above, fill in the amounts for the three remaining “sums of squares” (SS) if we had NOT included “RAM as a second factor in this model? That is, what would SS Hard Drive, SS Error, and SS Total equal if RAM had not been included as a second explainer in this model? SS Hard Drive = [SShd], SS Error = [SSerror], SS Total = [SStotal]    

Is there a link between the number of advertisements (x-variable) a local gym places on billboards and the number of new members who sign up (y-variable)? You collect the following information from a random sample of six months of data from the gym:   Month New Members [Y] Monthly  Ads [X] xy x2 February 45 2 90 4 March 60 3 180 9 May 80 10 800 100 June 62 3 186 9 August 71 8 568 64 October 66 4 264 16      Question: Compute b0 and b1 to construct the least squares regression equation (the y-hat line) describing the relationship between monthly billboard advertisements and new members.
