At the 5% significance level, determine if the model is useful for predicting the number of weekly riders on public buses. In responding, construct and test any appropriate hypothesis. 2. At the 5% significance level, does it appear that price of bus trips per week, population or average rate to park your personal vehicle can be removed from the model as unnecessary? In responding, construct and test any appropriate hypothesis.
