and using the data for 2 (table 8.21) fit the multiple regression model to predict KWH from Tmax, Tmin, Wndspd, and Cldvr. Find the parameter estimates, the R2, and say if the model is significant. Compare the R2 for this model to the R2 found in problem 7 from chapter 7. Explain why the change in R2 makes sense, using statistical reasoning.
