the team as backup; and 5-5.9 can make the club and contribute.
The data below shows position, weight, time in seconds to run the 40 yards, and r
25 NFL propsects.

a. Develop a dummy variable that will account for player's position.

b. Develop an estimated regression equation to show how rating is related to posi
weight, and time to run 40 yards.
c. Test whether the estimated regression equation
developed above indicates a significant relationship between the independent var
and the dependent variable.
d. Does the model provide a good fit?
e. Is position a significant factor in a player's rating?
f. Suppose a new offensive tackle prospect who weighs 300 pounds ran the 40 yar
in 5.1 seconds. Use the model to estimate the rating for this player.
